About Lily Simmons — Yeovil Town Women FC soccer (Football) athlete
Lily Simmons is a footballer with a strong on-field identity and clear season-to-season relevance, making her a solid fit for brands looking to connect with active sports audiences. Her content naturally supports partnerships around performance, training, matchday gear, and women’s football community engagement.
Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?
Lily Simmons is a Cardiff City u16s player, touted by her coaches to go on to the Cardiff City senior team and beyond - England pathway coaches have her on the players to watch and have been to 2 games in the last year to monitor her progress. She has also just been asked to play for the Cardiff City under u19 side, which is impressive given her age. Lily started her football at Ashton girls playing as a striker and finishing top scorer there, realising she needed to be challenged she moved on. Bitton FC, who were regarded as the best girls team in the South West. Lily was able to play her favoured right-wing position and after 3 seasons playing in the junior Premier league against teams such as Leicester, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Manchester City, Lily was then noticed by Bristol Rovers, who invited her to train with the ladies first team at just 14 years of age. Later in the year lily was approached to train at Cardiff city on a 2-week trial, they signed her after the first session. We are hoping to secure a sponsorship of £500 per annum, this would contribute towards the cost of travel to training sessions and match days. Lily resides in Bristol and is commuting around 250 miles per week. The sponsorship would also contribute toward boots, shin pads, physio, along with gym and training equipment. We are hoping to also spend money on paid advertisement across social media platforms to gain even more exposure for Lily. In return for sponsorship, we will share business posts on his personal social media platform, three times a week (3000 followers) - Lilys personal football instagram account has over 4500 followers, which as mentioned above, is continuously growing. Your business posts will be shared three times a week on this page also. You will also be sent Matchday and training photos for marketing use, in my experience the money we have spent on sponsorship has been great even just for the content we now have to post alone, that’s without the brand recognition and the handful of decent enquiries we receive from it. Lily is also happy to wear branded clothing on match or training days, and there will be an opportunity for yourself or your company to be invited down to games. With women's football on the rise this is a great opportunity to get involved with a young prospect, as a thank you for investing in her at this stage, Ross would be happy to continue to same arrangement at the same cost year on year, so if Lily was playing for Cardiff City women's (selected games are held in the Cardiff City Stadium) or the England squad, the cost to sponsor Lily would stay the same going forward, regardless if other sponsors are paying much more.

OpenSponsorship Releases World Cup Brand Activation Data as FIFA 2026 Kicks Off
Press Release · New York, NY
The world's largest athlete marketing platform reports 277 million views from soccer creators in the last eight weeks, with 1,552 bookable soccer athletes ready for brand activation across 15+ countries. Clients including Walmart and USA Today are already activating ahead of kickoff.
OpenSponsorship, the world's largest athlete marketing platform backed by Serena Williams and David Blitzer, today released proprietary data showing the scale of the creator opportunity around the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off Thursday, June 11th in North America. With brands including Walmart and USA Today already activating soccer creator campaigns through the platform, OpenSponsorship is positioned as the go-to partner for brands looking to win the biggest sports marketing moment of the decade.

viral posts over 100K views, just 86 athletes
The platform's soccer roster has generated 277 million views in the last eight weeks alone, with 276 viral posts clearing 100,000 views across just 86 athletes. OpenSponsorship has 1,552 publicly listed and bookable soccer athletes across 15+ countries, including 893 in the United States, alongside athletes from the UK, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Brazil, France, Nigeria, and more.
Brands that can't sign elite players can still reach their audienceWith 48 nations competing in the largest World Cup in history, brands face a common challenge: the biggest names are either off limits or out of budget. OpenSponsorship's data shows that mid-tier and creator talent routinely out-reaches their follower counts by 50 to 100x — giving brands access to the same passionate fan audiences at a fraction of the cost of global stars.
“The World Cup is the biggest commercial moment in sports marketing history, and the brands that win it will not be the ones who waited for the tournament to start. Our soccer athletes have already generated 277 million views in the last two months. The audience is engaged, the creators are ready, and the window to activate at the best rates closes when kickoff happens.” — Ishveen Jolly, Founder & CEO, OpenSponsorshipWalmart and USA Today: what World Cup activation actually delivers
OpenSponsorship's recent Walmart Soccer Saturday campaign demonstrates what's possible when brands activate the right soccer creators. The campaign — which featured AA9Skillz, Brittany Wilson, Matty Farias, Sean Garnier, and others — generated the following:

engagement — ~2x industry benchmark
USA Today is also activating soccer creator campaigns through OpenSponsorship ahead of the World Cup, leveraging the platform's roster of 1,552 bookable soccer athletes to reach highly engaged audiences across the US, Canada, and Mexico — the three host nations for the 2026 tournament.
“When creators genuinely love a sport and an event, it shows in the content. The Walmart campaign worked because the athletes were authentic soccer fans first and brand partners second. That authenticity is exactly what drives the kind of engagement numbers brands cannot get from traditional advertising.” — Ishveen Jolly, Founder & CEO, OpenSponsorshipThe World Cup activation window
OpenSponsorship's data shows a clear opportunity curve for World Cup brand activation. Athletes are available now at pre-tournament rates, with demand and pricing expected to rise sharply once the group stage begins June 11th.
- Kickoff — June 11: the group stage is the viral window, where trending athletes are still affordable before bidding wars begin.
- The Final — July 19, MetLife Stadium: the highest-profile moment for brands that have already built creator relationships.
Brands that lock in creator partnerships before the tournament begins benefit from lower rates, more authentic content, and deeper athlete relationships that extend beyond the tournament window. OpenSponsorship's white-glove managed service handles sourcing, contracting, content briefing, delivery, and ROI reporting end to end.
