DETROIT —AlumniFi, the digital banking platform of Michigan State University FCU, has expanded its partnership with the United Soccer League’s Detroit City Football Club, MSUFCU reported.
In addition to being the club’s exclusive financial partner and front-of-kit sponsor, the multi-year agreement, now includes the naming rights for the club’s new stadium—AlumniFi Field.
Pending public approvals, construction on AlumniFi Field at the corner of Michigan Avenue and 20th Street is scheduled to begin in late 2025. The soccer-specific venue will be Detroit’s only privately owned and financed professional sports stadium and will seat 15,000.
“As longtime residents of the city, the leaders and founders of the club view this stadium not only as an opportunity for our organization and sport, but as a civic endeavor to give back to the city we love,” said Sean Mann, Detroit City FC CEO. “Through our partnership, AlumniFi has been working with us on a shared vision for a stronger, more connected Detroit, creating an environment where everyone from youth to adults can thrive.”
“Like Detroit City Football Club, we believe in the power of community,” said April Clobes, AlumniFi president and CEO. “This partnership is about more than a stadium — it’s a commitment toward a brighter, stronger Detroit. Through financial education, local initiatives, and community-driven programs, AlumniFi is here to support Detroit’s continued growth and success.”
AlumniFi is designed for college graduates and young professionals. It offers online and mobile banking, high-yield savings accounts, and tools to manage finances, including student loan payments and debt management.
