Quest Fuels USA Eagles and Sevens with Performance-Driven Nutrition, Supporting Athletes On and Off the Field

DENVER, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quest Nutrition, a leading brand in on-the-go bars, sips and more, announced an exciting new partnership today with USA Rugby. As the official protein snack partner for the USA Rugby national teams, Quest brings a shared commitment to fueling active lifestyles and supporting wellness goals at every level. This partnership aligns with Quest's mission to deliver convenient, protein forward snacks to athletes who seek variety and nutrition on and off the field. With this partnership, Quest shows how its products meet a range of needs—from rigorous training sessions to everyday snacking—always big on protein and flavor.

The USA Rugby National Teams, also known as the USA Eagles, are renowned for their year-round training and global competitions. Nutrition plays a crucial role in their preparation and performance, with on-the-go snacking as a major focus. The new partnership with Quest will provide the Eagles with a variety of Quest's signature products, including bars, cookies, and chips—ensuring that players have what they need to excel or enjoy a quick bite during their down time.

"We are thrilled to join forces with USA Rugby and fuel their athletes with Quest," said Stuart Heflin, SVP and General Manager at Quest Nutrition. "We know that nutrition can be a game-changer for everyone, but especially elite athletes, and we're proud to offer our snacks to support the USA Eagles as they train, compete, and represent the nation on a global stage."

The partnership will especially benefit the USA Women's Sevens Team, which competes in seven tournaments across five continents each year. With Quest's delicious, protein-forward treats, players will be able to maintain energy levels and performance during their travel schedules and matches.

"As our athletes compete all around the world, at the highest levels of World Rugby, we're thrilled to partner with Quest Nutrition to help fuel each player at every stage of their preparation and competition," said USA Rugby CEO, Bill Goren, "This proud partnership brings new energy to the teams, conveniently through foods we enjoy."
