Socios Rewind: May 2022
May is a special month for sports fans. It’s the ultimate climax across European football and it’s always busy! As league champions were crowned, we were on hand to give fans the Ultimate Experience.
First things first, in house brand news:
We kick off this rewind with the arrival of New Partners joining our fold. We welcomed 25 MLS clubs and their esteemed fans, while Brazilian outfit Bahia also look to get closer to their fans though Socios.com

To help us in our mission to get more fans closer to their team, we launched our first ever TV commercial. With this, we also welcomed Alessandro del Piero to the fold and adding another sensational number 10 to our team gives us plenty of firepower up front.

Back to school with Socios.com
Something truly magical is brewing in Turkey.
