Coalitions for Sport Equity (CSEq) is the U.S. partner organization for Nike's X2 collection, a global program tied to this summer's biggest stage in international soccer. Nike paired seven federations with seven designers and seven community youth sport organizations to create co-branded pre-match collections. For the U.S., that pairing is Nike, designer V.A.A., and CSEq: the Stars & Stripes collection, worn by the U.S. Men's National Team during pre-match warmups at its 2026 friendlies.

CSEq held its annual in-person member gathering in April in Los Angeles, co-hosted with Play Equity Fund.

The gathering focused on shared narrative development, timed to CSEq's upcoming visibility through the 2026 World Cup partnership with Nike.

CSEq's Power in Numbers research is out.

Spanning 14 coalitions and 4 universities, the findings show that trust, communication, and shared purpose matter more than structure — and 79% of members say their coalition improved the quality of sport and play in their community.
