KnoxTNToday is proud to announce a new partnership with One Knox Collective as an Official Sponsor of the One Knox Collective Youth Soccer Program for the 2026-2027 season.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the Knoxville community and creating opportunities for young people through sports. As Knoxville continues to embrace soccer at every level, KnoxTNToday is investing in One Knox Collective’s mission to elevate the game across East Tennessee while providing meaningful experiences for youth players and their families.

One Knox Collective serves thousands of players through recreational, competitive, adaptive, and community-based soccer programs. As the nonprofit arm of One Knoxville Sporting Club, the organization was created with a purpose-driven mission to “change lives through soccer” while expanding access to the sport throughout the region.

“KnoxTNToday has always been focused on celebrating the people, organizations, and stories that make our community stronger,” said Susan Espiritu, owner and publisher of KnoxTNToday. “One Knox Collective is doing incredible work by creating opportunities for young athletes, bringing families together, and helping grow the game of soccer throughout East Tennessee. We are honored to support that mission and be part of its continued impact.”

The growth of soccer in Knoxville has become one of the region’s most exciting community success stories. Through youth development programs, recreational opportunities, and the continued expansion of One Knoxville Sporting Club, the sport has become a unifying force that connects neighborhoods, families, and athletes across the region.

“Soccer has the power to bring people together and create opportunities that extend far beyond the field,” said Sam Weisbrod, Executive Director of One Knox Collective and Youth Club. “We are grateful for Knox TN Today’s support and their commitment to investing in young people throughout our community. Partnerships like this help us continue expanding access to the game, developing players, and creating experiences that positively impact families across East Tennessee.”

Through this partnership, KnoxTNToday will help support One Knox Collective’s ongoing efforts to provide high-quality soccer programming, increase accessibility to the sport, and strengthen the club’s role as a community resource throughout Knoxville and the surrounding region.
