Intermex Named Founding Partner of Dignity Health Sports Park and the Official International Remittance Partner of the LA Galaxy
First-of-Its-Kind Deal Deepens Intermex's Connection to Soccer and Latino Communities Across Southern California
The reigning 2024 MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy and their home stadium, Dignity Health Sports Park (DHSP), have launched a new partnership with International Money Express, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMXI) (Intermex), a leading money remittance provider to Latin America and the Caribbean. The multiyear agreement, brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, makes Intermex the Official International Remittance Partner of the LA Galaxy and a Founding Partner of Dignity Health Sports Park, a premium and category-exclusive designation. The partnership marks the first time the team, the venue, and AEG have partnered with a brand in the international remittance category. This also represents Intermex's first official partnership in sports—making it a first-of-its-kind collaboration.
"Our partnership with the LA Galaxy and Dignity Health Sports Park is about showing up for the people who have always been at the center of this sport," said Marcelo Theodoro, Chief Product, Marketing & Digital Officer at Intermex. "For so many Latino families, fútbol isn't just entertainment, it's a part of who we are. This collaboration allows us to celebrate that connection in a meaningful way, both on and off the field."
Founded in 1994, around the same time as the LA Galaxy and Major League Soccer, Intermex and soccer have grown in parallel, earning trust among Latino communities in the U.S. and abroad. Headquartered in Miami, Intermex enables digital money transfers from the U.S., Canada, and Europe to more than 60 countries, with a strong focus on Latin America. The company offers a multi-channel delivery experience via its app, website, retail locations, as well as WhatsApp. Known for its human-first customer service, including Spanish-first support for underbanked and immigrant communities, Intermex has become a trusted provider for millions of Latino families.
With Los Angeles being one of Intermex's most strategically important U.S. markets, the LA Galaxy presents a timely and culturally significant opportunity to deepen its ties with a region where soccer is thriving. Across the United States, especially in Southern California, soccer has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sports, driven in large part by Latino communities where the game has long served as a source of cultural pride and generational connection. More than five million Latinos call Los Angeles home, and across California, nearly 70% of MLS viewership comes from Latino fans—making the region a powerful intersection of culture, sport, and community. The agreement also extends through two of the most significant global sporting events set to take place in Los Angeles: the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, offering unmatched exposure and relevance during pivotal moments for the sport.
"We are excited to welcome Intermex to the Galaxy family," said LA Galaxy President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Braun. "This is a values-driven brand that understands the importance of language, culture, and legacy. Together, we're building something that resonates on and off the pitch."
As a Founding Partner of Dignity Health Sports Park, Intermex will enjoy premium brand visibility throughout the venue and will be fully integrated into the fan journey—from driveway to pitch. This includes prominent freeway marquee signage, scoreboard integrations, concourse placements, plaza wall signage, and various digital menu boards across the property.
"Intermex is a brand that truly understands the people we serve," said Katie Pandolfo, General Manager of Dignity Health Sports Park. "Their partnership reinforces our shared commitment to elevating the guest experience while creating lasting impact across our community."
As part of the agreement, Intermex also becomes the Presenting Partner of the LA Galaxy Soccer Center – a 73,000-square-foot facility in Torrance, California dedicated to futsal and recreational sports. Intermex's partnership will support year-round youth and adult programming at the center, helping preserve a vital hub for thousands of local families and athletes of all ages.
"Intermex is setting a new standard for what culturally relevant, community-rooted partnerships in sports can look like and achieve," said Rashid Dadashi, Senior Director, AEG Global Partnerships. "Soccer is central to the lives of their customers and our fans, and our collaboration provides an opportunity to engage authentically and consistently in one of their highest-priority markets. They're a brand that leads with purpose and understands the power of showing up where it matters most."
Further amplifying the cultural impact of the partnership, Intermex will be the Title Night Partner of the 2025 Mexican Heritage Night, taking place on September 20 against FC Cincinnati – one of the club's most highly anticipated cultural theme nights of the season. Additionally, Intermex will engage fans as the Presenting Partner of "Cobi Club" – an original content series from the LA Galaxy that explores football chatter with current trends and popular culture, giving every fan – fanatics and casuals fans alike – something to enjoy.
With nearly 30 years of trusted service and deep roots in Latino communities across the globe, Intermex's entry into sports sponsorship marks a new chapter in its mission to empower, connect, and uplift the people who drive its business – one built on trust, cultural alignment, and the beautiful game.
