The launch marks the beginning of a new campaign, alongside front-of-shirt sponsor Maple Lodge Farms and the Caldwell Family Centre, aimed at tackling the ongoing food insecurity crisis in the nation’s capital.

For every jersey sold, Maple Lodge Farms will donate a case of chicken products to the club’s community food centre partners, starting with the Caldwell Family Centre. It creates enough food to provide dinner to 30 people (or six families) every time a 2024 primary jersey is purchased.

“This initiative embodies our commitment to making a meaningful difference beyond the pitch, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to impact lives in our nation’s capital positively,” Atletico Ottawa CEO Fernando López said.

Maple Lodge Farms has been the official food protein partner of the CPL since 2022 and had its logo displayed on the front of Atleti kits for the first time during the 2023 season.

Atlético Ottawa provided early access to the 2024 Primary Jersey at an exclusive event for Season Seat Members on Sunday.
