Sofive Soccer Centers selected Square to power payments across its entire 22-location national footprint in the US, putting Square's infrastructure at the centre of thousands of weekly bookings, memberships, and in-venue transactions.
- Grassroots sport facilities are a recurring revenue vertical that payment fintechs have largely overlooked in favour of marquee stadium deals. Sofive gives Square a ready-built national network with predictable transaction flow and a customer base that skews young, active, and urban.
- For payment companies building in sport, community facilities are the infrastructure play that compounds over time while everyone else chases the naming rights headline. The transaction volume is smaller per venue but the network effect across 22 locations adds up to a meaningful portfolio.
- Square has also bought itself a reference network that demonstrates capability across multi-site sport operations - a credential that opens doors with larger facility operators and regional sport associations evaluating payment infrastructure.
