CLERMONT, Ky., Nov. 1, 2024 - Jim Beam®, the Official Spirit Partner of the U.S. Soccer Federation celebrated the U.S. Women's National Team's (USWNT) match against Argentina this past week. The highly anticipated game, which was played in front of a sold-out crowd, marked the first time in 20 years that the USWNT returned to Louisville, Kentucky, creating a special moment that united fans in the birthplace of the world's #1 bourbon.
"We were honored to welcome the USWNT as they showcased their incredible talent right here in Louisville," said Rashidi Hodari, managing director of James B. Beam Distilling Co. "The values of dedication to craft and community that the U.S. Soccer Federation embodies perfectly aligns with our own deep-rooted heritage of creating the finest bourbon and bringing people together over their love of sport. This match was an extraordinary event, and we are proud to be part of the excitement."
Fred and Freddie Noe, Jim Beam's seventh and eighth generation master distillers, kicked off the game with a coin toss. The U.S. Women's National Team secured a 3-0 victory, with Naomi Girma scoring her first two international goals and Argentina conceding an own goal. Soccer icons Ali Krieger and Clint Dempsey joined fans ahead of the game, mingling and sharing stories from the field, making the Jim Beam celebration a true homage to the sport and its vibrant community.
With over 229 years of tradition, Jim Beam is honored to partner with the U.S. Soccer Federation, an organization with a strong legacy of excellence.
