## Resource

SoFi isn't sweating FIFA's strict 'clean stadium' policy. The financial institution, known for its massive Los Angeles stadium, hosted a parade of stars in their suite during the World Cup. They declared their branding "extends beyond a sign on a stadium." This bold move signals a new era: companies flexing their influence, even when official branding is banned. It's a high-stakes play, and SoFi just scored.
