Brand is also teaming up with Chipotle superfans and USMNT stars Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie to launch new digital menu items and behind-the-scenes content
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG), an official partner of U.S. Soccer, announced today it will roll out a series of programs supporting the U.S. Men's National Team while they compete on soccer's biggest stage.
Real Food For Real Athletes
Christian Pulisic of the U.S. Men's National Team has been a longtime fan of Chipotle's real food. When he played professionally in Dortmund, Germany, Christian would drive three hours to visit the nearest Chipotle restaurant in Frankfurt for a taste of home. Rising star Weston McKennie's first meal when he returns home from Italy is always Chipotle and he regularly meets up with USMNT teammates at a Chipotle restaurant when they're in the U.S. together.
Both athletes will be featured in Chipotle's "Constant Ingredient" series that will showcase their highlights, setbacks, and comebacks and how Chipotle's real food has been fueling them throughout their careers. Christian and Weston's "Constant Ingredient" content will air as Chipotle's first national television ads during soccer's biggest international tournament.

Bowls For Goals
As part of its support of U.S. Soccer, Chipotle will drop 5,000 free entrée codes every time the U.S. Men's National Team scores a goal during its upcoming international tournament.* The brand will give away up to $1 million of free Chipotle through the program.
After every USMNT goal, a unique code for a free entrée will be revealed via a collaborative tweet between Chipotle (@ChipotleTweets) and U.S. Men's National Team (@USMNT). The first 5,000 fans to text the unique code to 888222 will receive a code that can be used for a free entrée*.
Fans will also be able to experience Christian and Weston's go-to training meals while watching the USMNT this fall. The Christian Pulisic Bowl and Weston McKennie Bowl will be available in the Chipotle app and on Chipotle.com for a limited time.

American Outlaws Content Series
Over the next few weeks, Chipotle will collaborate on exclusive content with Brian Hexsel, current Chipotle Field Leader and organizer of the American Outlaws, a non-profit group dedicated to supporting U.S. soccer teams. Brian and Chipotle will deliver an on-the-ground, behind-the-scenes video series from the tournament, including an exclusive interview with Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, conversations with fans who are attending the tournament, a chat with the leader of the English fan club, and gameday footage.
