Like soccer? Like FIFA? Like the Timbers and Thorns?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you’re going to like Leah Revelle.

The Portland Timbers and Thorns FC announced today that Twitch-partnered streamer and FIFA content creator Leah Revelle will represent the club on her digital platforms in a special co-team partnership, with Revelle becoming the first female gamer to represent both teams.

Revelle, one of the top female FIFA streamers on Twitch in North America, will be hosting monthly sponsored streams on Twitch to play and talk FIFA as well as engage with Timbers, Thorns and Thorns soccer culture and more.

Next week on Jan. 11, she’ll host a watch-along on her Twitch channel – www.twitch.tv/LeahRevelle – as Timbers eMLS competitor Edgar “RCTID_Thiago” Guerrero begins play in the 2022 eMLS League Series One qualifiers, presented by Coca-Cola (3pm PT).

Revelle, 29, has a life-long love of soccer having played in high school, competitive club teams and now keeps busy as a striker and left wing for her rec and coed squads. A huge Canada Women’s National Team supporter, Revelle is, naturally, also a big fan of Thorns captain Christine Sinclair.

The Ottawa, Ont. native began playing FIFA five years ago and has improved her FIFA Ultimate Team and Division Rivals play each year. She began streaming in earnest in the fall of 2020 and has quickly become one of the most engaging and popular FIFA streamers in the space.

“I’m extremely excited and honored to be working with Portland, on this journey, and looking forward to what the future holds,” said Revelle.

Follow her on Twitch and Twitter for updates on her streaming schedule and be sure to tune in on Jan. 11 as eMLS LS1 play begins.
