ArniPatch™ Announces Partnership With Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Football Club
Natural, drug-free, homeopathic hydrogel patch brings science-forward recovery support to professional athletes and active Angelenos
LOS ANGELES (Feb. 12, 2026) — ArniPatch™, a natural, homeopathic hydrogel patch designed to support muscle recovery, today announced a new partnership with Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC). As a Proud Partner of LAFC, the collaboration brings ArniPatch’s science-forward recovery technology to one of Major League Soccer’s most dynamic teams, reinforcing a shared commitment to performance, innovation, and community.
“Today’s athletes are increasingly focused on recovery as a critical part of performance,” said Tack Soo Nam, Founder of LaboFlex, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Wooshin Labottach, and the company behind ArniPatch. “Our partnership with LAFC reflects a shared belief that recovery should be effective, safe, and accessible not only for professional athletes, but for anyone leading an active lifestyle.”
Bringing Recovery to the Heart of the LAFC Community
The partnership will officially kick off at LAFC x Inter Miami Fan Fest, a season-opening celebration bringing together players, supporters, and partners for an afternoon centered on sport, culture, and community.
The Fan Fest will take place on Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 2:00–6:00 p.m. at Christmas Tree Lane Park in Los Angeles. Designed as a high-energy pre-match experience, the event offers fans an opportunity to engage with the LAFC community ahead of the upcoming season.
As part of the event, ArniPatch will host an on-site booth featuring interactive fan experiences, including:
Traditional Korean games
Prizes and giveaways
Free ArniPatch samples for attendees
Additional event details and updates will be shared via ArniPatch’s social channels. Fans are encouraged to follow @arnipatch_us for the latest information as the event approaches.
Building on the momentum of the season-opening Fan Fest, ArniPatch will continue to engage fans through select LAFC Fan Fest activations and match-day touchpoints throughout the 2026 season—bringing professional-grade recovery tools closer to the broader LAFC community, including:
LAFC vs. San Jose — April 19 at BMO Stadium-Christmas Tree Lane Park
LAFC vs. San Diego — August 15 at BMO Stadium-Christmas Tree Lane Park
LAFC vs. Galaxy — October 25 at BMO Stadium-Christmas Tree Lane Park
Performance Recovery, Reinvented
ArniPatch represents a modern evolution of traditional Arnica Montana, delivering homeopathic arnica through a hydrogel patch designed for prolonged comfort and consistent support. Unlike creams or gels that can wear off quickly or irritate the skin, ArniPatch uses a controlled-release hydrogel system that provides relief for up to 8-12 hours.
Developed by LaboFlex’s specialized R&D team, ArniPatch combines:
Arnica Montana 1X HPUS (1%), a natural ingredient traditionally used to support recovery from bruising, swelling, and muscle soreness
Hydrogel patch technology for cooling and soothing effects
Elastic fabric construction for comfort and ease of application
A drug-free, scent-free, low-risk option suitable for athletes and individuals experiencing “pill fatigue”
Designed to support recovery and not just mask pain, ArniPatch helps address the body’s inflammatory response while offering a cleaner, safer topical alternative.
Trusted by Athletes, Designed for Real-World Recovery
ArniPatch is commonly used in scenarios such as post-match recovery, travel stiffness, post-manual therapy care, and ongoing management of high-load areas during training cycles. Its gentle adhesion is intentionally engineered to prioritize skin comfort, making it well-suited for extended wear, though adhesion may vary in high-movement areas.
“ArniPatch’s innovative approach to performance makes them a perfect partner for LAFC. We’re always looking to collaborate with brands that share our ambition to elevate the fan and player experience, and ArniPatch embodies that mindset,” said Terry Tsouratakis, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships for the Los Angeles Football Club.
Recovery for the Community
Beyond the pitch, the partnership underscores LAFC’s role as a cultural force in Los Angeles and ArniPatch’s mission to make pro-level recovery tools accessible to everyday athletes, from weekend soccer players and runners to cyclists and gym-goers.
“LAFC brings together sport, culture, and community, and we’re excited to be part of that energy,” said Nam. “ArniPatch is here to support recovery not just for players, but for the fans and active Angelenos who live life in motion.”
