Can’t Wash This: Febreze Takes on the Stink Behind Soccer’s Biggest Summer

About this update from Procter & Gamble Company (the)

Through a partnership with Major League Soccer, Trevor Noah, MLS club boot room refreshes and a traveling Boot Room Tour, Febreze Fabric is helping fight odors on the gear, couches, cars and game-day spaces the washing machine can't handle. CINCINNATI, July 06, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Soccer in the U.S. is having its biggest moment yet, and Febreze is taking on one of the game's most relatable side effects: the stink. Today, Febreze announced Can't Wash This, a new soccer-inspired campaign built on a simple truth: as the game grows, so do the gear piles, car rides, watch parties and soft surfaces that pick up odor but can't always go in the wash. As the Official Odor Fighter of Major League Soccer, and with an anticipated 47 million new soccer fans expected following the World Cup in North America,* Febreze is turning soccer's growing fandom into a fresh reason to fight the rise in stink through a campaign featuring Trevor Noah, MLS club boot room refreshes, creator content, a collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Temi Coker and a traveling Boot Room Tour.

It's exciting to see how soccer has taken over the U.S., and Febreze felt like a natural fit for that - a brand that plays an integral part in the soccer routine," said Trevor Noah. "I had a blast recording at the Red Bulls New York Boot Room, and I can say firsthand: if your soccer gear is starting to smell like its own locker room, it's time for Febreze Fabric." Febreze is also bringing Can't Wash This to life with MLS clubs including LA Galaxy, FC Cincinnati, Red Bulls New York and Atlanta United through club boot room refreshes and behind-the-scenes team-shot content.
