Ontario International Airport has partnered with the Los Angeles Football Club.
The agreement, which makes Ontario International the official airport of the men’s professional soccer team, will involve community events and co-branding opportunities between the two entities, according to a statement on the airport’s website.
The soccer team will have advertising throughout the two terminals, while the airport will have its brand prominently displayed at all LAFC home games.
