NEW YORK and CHICAGO, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and delivery marketplace, struck a partnership to become the official food delivery partner of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup, the region's flagship men's national team competition. As professional soccer continues to see exponential growth, the deal with the region's premier men's national team international soccer tournament represents Grubhub's first foray into a major sports partnership.

"The world of soccer represents a uniquely diverse fanbase with global representation, a similarity that we share with our wide array of restaurants and what makes our partnership with Concacaf's Gold Cup such a great match," said Stephanie Kopa, senior director of marketing at Grubhub.
