PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pebl, the AI-first global employment platform, today announced a multi-year partnership with Bay FC, the Bay Area’s professional women’s soccer team.
The partnership is grounded in a shared belief: geography should never limit where talent is found or how great teams are built.
“Bay FC’s players and staff bring together talent, experiences and perspectives from around the world, making Pebl a natural partner for our club,” said Bay FC President Bernard Gutmann. “Together we will create new experiences that bring fans, business leaders and our broader community closer to the club.”
“Football makes a simple truth visible: you don’t build a winning team by limiting where you look for talent,” said Françoise Brougher, CEO of Pebl. “That same idea drives Pebl every day. We help companies find, hire and support the right people, wherever they are. Bay FC brings that belief to life every time it takes the pitch.”
Pebl and Bay FC will introduce new content, fan experiences and community activations throughout the partnership. Additional details will be announced in the coming months.
