Miccosukee Casino & Resort is proud to partner with FIU Athletics in a landmark collaboration celebrating community, culture, and the future of South Florida.

Through this three-year partnership, Miccosukee is supporting FIU student-athletes, connecting with Panther fans, and creating new opportunities to bring our communities together on and off the field.

 

PROUD PARTNERS ON AND OFF THE FIELD

Beginning with the 2026–27 seasons, Miccosukee Casino & Resort serves as the inaugural jersey patch sponsor for four FIU Athletics programs:

FIU Football
Men’s Basketball
Women’s Basketball
Baseball

Fans will also see Miccosukee represented throughout FIU Athletics, including prominent branding at Pitbull Stadium, collaborative programming, community initiatives, and special fan experiences throughout the year.

 

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF FIU FOOTBALL

Miccosukee Casino & Resort is proud to serve as the presenting sponsor of FIU Football’s 25th Anniversary Celebration during the 2026 season. Our connection to Panther football goes all the way back to the beginning. Miccosukee Casino & Resort was the presenting sponsor of FIU’s first-ever football game on August 29, 2002.

Twenty-five seasons later, we’re proud to be part of the celebration once again. Throughout the season, fans can look forward to anniversary-themed activations, experiences, and celebrations honoring FIU Football’s history and the South Florida community that has supported the Panthers from day one.

 

DEEP ROOTS, SHARED FUTURE

The connection between Miccosukee and FIU extends beyond athletics. For generations, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida has been an integral part of South Florida, with a history, culture, and enduring connection to the Everglades. FIU has also grown into one of the region’s most influential institutions, educating generations of South Floridians and bringing together students, families, and communities from across Miami.

Through storytelling, cultural experiences, education, and community engagement, our partnership creates opportunities to share the Miccosukee story with FIU student-athletes, students, alumni, and fans while supporting the next generation of South Florida.

 

MORE THAN A PARTNERSHIP

From the field to the community, Miccosukee Casino & Resort and FIU Athletics are building something bigger together.

Celebrating our history. Supporting our community. Creating what comes next.

WELCOME TO THE TRIBE!
