New Partnership Names Zevo as the Official Bug Spray of Major League Soccer
Zevo On-Body is buzzing with excitement as the brand announces its official partnership with Major League Soccer (MLS). As the League’s first official bug spray, Zevo On-Body provides up to eight hours of odorless, non-sticky, feel-good protection from mosquitoes and ticks, making Zevo the real MVP.
The brand teamed up with America’s greatest soccer player and MLS legend, Landon Donovan, who knows first-hand what it takes to be an MVP. Together they are on a mission to help players, fans and spectators alike compete against bugs with Zevo as the Most Valuable Protection.
“I’ve partnered with Zevo to help make bug prevention top of mind for the soccer community throughout the season,” said Donovan. “As a mosquito magnet, Zevo On-Body has protected me from tons of itchy moments on and off the field plus the best part – no odor! It definitely earns the MVP award in my book.”
This collaboration brings together feel-good insect protection allowing for an optimal experience on and off the pitch. Whether you are cheering on your favorite MLS team or you’re a proud parent supporting from the sidelines, look forward to game days again without the ick of other, traditional bug sprays.
“MLS and soccer as a whole bring thousands of people outdoors to enjoy the sport each season. Zevo understands that bugs are inevitable in this environment, and wants to step in to protect you and your family,” said Chetan Parekh, Vice President & General Manager of Zevo at Procter & Gamble. “Through our partnership with the MLS, we believe Zevo can provide players and fans with reliable prevention from mosquitoes and ticks, allowing them to focus on enjoying their experience rather than dealing with pesky insects.”
As part of this initiative, fans will have the opportunity to score a VIP package by entering the Landon Donovan’s Ultimate MVP Sweepstakes for a chance to win great prizes, including a grand prize MVP experience for four (4) at a home Inter Miami match during the 2024 regular season along with two signed jerseys.
