ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Men's and
Women's National Soccer Teams recently received care packages from
Cutter brand, the official insect repellent of U.S. Soccer, to help
protect team members from mosquitoes that may carry the Zika
virus.
"With numerous high-profile events coming up, including the
women's matches in Rio, we wanted to help the U.S. Men's and
Women's National Teams with both the tools and knowledge to protect
themselves," said Eric Kenney,
Division Vice President, Home & Garden Marketing. "We're proud
to be a sponsor of U.S. Soccer and through it hope to educate
consumers on how to better protect themselves from mosquitoes."
The Cutter insect repellent kits were delivered to U.S. Soccer
before the players travelled to Rio and included the brand's
Cutter® Skinsations® Insect Repellent and Cutter® Lemon Eucalyptus
Insect Repellent, along with an information card with details on
the products and information on how they can help protect
themselves from mosquitoes.

very valuable to our players and staff, and we're proud to be able
to help educate our fans and soccer players of all ages about
mosquito-borne illnesses and how they can help protect themselves,"
said U.S. Soccer President Sunil
Gulati. "We're grateful for Spectrum's support and are
looking forward to the many great things to come for the Cutter
brand, our teams and the game of soccer in the U.S."
