The global game. The global digital dollar.

Circle is the Official Front-of-Shirt Partner of Chelsea Football Club.

Circle is the issuer of USDC, the world’s leading regulated digital dollar*, built to make money work globally the way the internet works globally: always on, borderless, and open to possibility.

Chelsea has over 500 million fans worldwide — from the UK to Asia, the Middle East, and Africa — connecting people worldwide, similar to USDC. Two global organizations. The same standard: borderless by default, trusted at scale, and built to last.

Football connects people regardless of language, geography, or origin.

Wherever Chelsea fans are in the world, something connects them — a shared passion that crosses every border without asking permission. USDC was built on the same premise: money that moves the same way for everyone, everywhere. This partnership brings both brands in front of over a billion football fans — in the markets, and alongside the moments that matter most.
