The Barcelona women’s team, on its first exhibition tour of the U.S., has picked up a nice welcome gift Friday with toolmaker Stanley Black & Decker signing on as the team’s first jersey sponsor.
The deal was to be announced Friday morning at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the team’s second stop on its abbreviated U.S. tour.
The Barcelona women, led by reigning world player of the year Lieke Martens, English star Toni Duggan and former Mexican international Pamela Tajonar, will play its only match in the U.S. against SoCal FC of the second-tier Women’s Premier Soccer League on Saturday at 10 a.
