Gainbridge became the Official Partner of the USL Super League in April 2025, with the 2025/26 season marking the first full year of the Gainbridge Super League. Each ambassador will participate in appearances on behalf of Gainbridge and create exclusive social media content throughout the season.

Scurry, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and 1999 FIFA World Cup champion, emphasized the importance of financial partnerships for young professional athletes.

“I love that Gainbridge is also backing nine players across the league,” said Scurry. “The financial decisions young athletes make now can shape the rest of their lives. I learned that the hard way, which is why I’m proud to continue partnering with Gainbridge and now these nine incredible athletes to help equip the next generation with the skills and confidence they need to build their futures, on and off the pitch.”

The brand ambassadors from the Gainbridge Super League join Gainbridge’s robust portfolio of women's sports partnerships. Gainbridge is also the title sponsor of The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican and the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge. Gainbridge is the naming rights sponsor of Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the WNBA's Indiana Fever and NBA’s Indiana Pacers.
