Herbalife announced that it has renewed its support of the LA Galaxy Special Olympics Unified Team for the 2025 season.
This partnership will offer Special Olympics athletes—ages 16 to 25—access to the same high-quality resources as the professional team including world-class nutrition education, elite training, and exclusive experiences, such as access to professional team gear, travel, scrimmages, and matches against other MLS Unified Teams.
On April 2, a signing ceremony was held at Dignity Health Sports Park, where 22 athletes officially joined the team alongside LA Galaxy President of Business Operations and COO Tom Braun, LA Galaxy Head Coach Greg Vanney, General Manager Will Kuntz, pro players, team announcer Joe Tutino, and the team’s mascot – Cozmo. The athletes and their families were also treated to a pro-team experience, which included an exclusive behind-the-scenes stadium tour, locker room access where they suited up in their personalized uniforms, and a nutrition session led by members of Herbalife’s Sports Performance team, who work with the LA Galaxy year-round to develop tailored nutrition strategies for each player.
“Building on our shared commitment to health, wellness, and personalized nutrition for peak athletic performance, we’re excited to partner with the LA Galaxy to once again support the Unified Team during the 2025 season, bringing our expertise to help athletes thrive both on and off the field,” said Ibi Montesino, managing director, Herbalife North America at Herbalife.
The LA Galaxy Special Olympics Unified Team is part of the broader Special Olympics Unified Sports program, which brings together individuals with and without intellectual disabilities, allowing them to compete as equals and promote social inclusion through the power of sport. This initiative aligns with Herbalife’s mission to help individuals live their best lives through balanced nutrition, active lifestyles, and a commitment to wellness.
