Detroit City Football Club (DCFC) today announced a new multi-year sponsorship with MotorCity Casino Hotel, deepening the club’s ties with one of Detroit’s most recognizable entertainment destinations. The agreement runs from 2026 through 2028 and aligns two Detroit institutions committed to delivering memorable experiences for fans and visitors across the city.
As part of the sponsorship, MotorCity Casino Hotel becomes a key kit partner, with branding featured on the right sleeve of Detroit City FC’s first-team jerseys starting in the 2026 season. The MotorCity Casino Hotel logo will appear in league and cup competitions, as well as select club and community events. The new kit will debut ahead of the 2026 campaign, with details on the Kit Reveal event to follow.
“We are excited to welcome MotorCity Casino Hotel back to the Detroit City FC family,” said Sean Mann, CEO and Co‑Owner of Detroit City FC. “This partnership unites two organizations rooted in Detroit and driven by a commitment to delivering best-in-class experiences for our supporters, guests, and community. MotorCity Casino Hotel’s support will further elevate the matchday experience with Le Rouge.”
The sponsorship also names MotorCity Casino Hotel as the presenting sponsor of Detroit City FC’s annual charity golf outing, a flagship event that brings together partners, supporters, players, and staff. Proceeds from the event provide need-based scholarships to keep soccer accessible for all Detroit families. Throughout the sponsorship, MotorCity Casino Hotel will also enjoy tailored hospitality opportunities for VIP guests, including premium matchday experiences and access to select team events.
Detroit City FC continues to grow its sponsor portfolio as it enters a new phase of development in Detroit. The MotorCity Casino Hotel agreement builds on DCFC’s history of collaborating with brands that share the club’s commitment to the city and its supporters.
