CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (October 1, 2026) — Chattanooga Football Club announced today that Powerade will continue as the Exclusive Beverage Partner for Chattanooga FC Youth.

As part of the agreement, the Powerade logo will be featured on the back of all CFC Youth training shirts.

Chad Emerson, CFC Chief Business Officer, said: "Our youth athletes work and train hard throughout the year, so we’re thrilled to continue our partnership with an elite performance-beverage brand like Powerade to meet their hydration needs. Powerade and CFC are a perfect fit for our youth sports programs."

Darren Hodges, VP of the Tennessee Valley Division of Coca-Cola UNITED, said: "At its core, partnership is about alignment. Having Powerade be the Exclusive Beverage Partner of Chattanooga FC Youth is a great example of this. Powerade is proudly made right here in Chattanooga, and having Powerade hydrate over 600 homegrown youth athletes just makes sense. Chattanooga Coca-Cola has been a community partner for more than 125 years. Supporting the next generation of youth in health and wellness are values that CFC and Coca-Cola UNITED share."
