LEXINGTON, Ky. — Lexington Sporting Club is proud to introduce Toyota as the first-ever exclusive training top sponsor of its USL Championship and Gainbridge Super League squads.
“The Local Bluegrass Toyota Dealers are proud to expand our partnership with Lexington SC and continue our commitment to supporting the community through the power of sports,” said a spokesperson for Bluegrass Toyota Dealers. “Lexington SC has quickly established itself as an exciting part of the community, and this expanded partnership gives us an even greater opportunity to connect with local fans and families. Toyota and your Local Bluegrass Toyota Dealers share a commitment to bringing people together, and we are excited to be part of Lexington SC’s continued growth both on and off the field.”
LSC and Bluegrass Toyota dealers first partnered in 2025 to enhance the matchday experience for fans at Lexington SC Stadium. The expanded partnership not only includes slick additions to the men’s and women’s training kits, but also continues to support all aspects of club operations.
Toyota has played a pivotal role in the Lexington-area economy and community for decades.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, based only 16 miles north of Lexington in Georgetown, is Toyota’s largest vehicle manufacturing plant in the world and employs 10,000 people. Over 444,000 vehicles were manufactured in Kentucky last year, alongside more than 787,000 engines.
In 2025, Toyota announced $1.9 million in grants benefiting nonprofit organizations across the Bluegrass region and launched a new solar panel installation aimed at reducing its carbon footprint and supporting the transition to renewable energy.
Overall, the organization has invested more than $164 million in community philanthropic and educational initiatives in Kentucky since 1986.
“We are incredibly proud to expand our partnership with the Local Bluegrass Toyota Dealers and continue building on a relationship that is rooted in community, family and a shared love of bringing people together through soccer,” said Madyson Foster-Smith, head of partnerships at LSC. “Their continued investment in Lexington SC reflects a belief in the impact our club can have both on and off the field, and we are excited to grow alongside a partner that is so committed to the Bluegrass community.”
Lexington Sporting Club and Toyota are two organizations committed to investing in Central Kentucky and providing its communities with exceptional products, whether it be premier vehicles or world-class soccer.
