DEFTONES Supporting Street Soccer USA’s Los Jaguares

Closing out 2025, nu-metal pioneers and Sacramento legends DEFTONES are giving back to Oak Park, the neighborhood where their story began, by sponsoring Street Soccer USA’s Los Jaguares — a youth team rooted in the same underserved community.
To support the squad’s upcoming season, DEFTONES joined forces with GOAL Projects (the creative arm of global soccer brand GOAL) to craft their 2026 jerseys and a limited-run soccer ball, available online December 9.

The project stands as the third installment in GOAL Projects’ ongoing collaboration with Common Goal, spotlighting iconic musicians who step up for local youth teams.

Los Jaguares’ roster of 11–14-year-old boys and girls competes under Street Soccer USA, which provides free, accessible programming for 75,000+ players in 16 cities nationwide. Every jersey sold pushes the mission forward — keeping soccer free, building field access, supporting coaches, and delivering essentials like nutritious snacks.

The partnership was sparked at Aftershock, where the young players met DEFTONES backstage during their headlining performance — an unforgettable first concert, topped off with autographed jerseys and real inspiration.
