About

United States Soccer Federation

United States Soccer Federation is a governing body for soccer in the US, providing news, resources, and information on youth leagues to national teams.

Founded in 1913 as the country's official governing body under FIFA sanction, U.S. Soccer directs every level of the sport from grassroots participation to senior professional competition. The federation fields the U.S. Men's National Team and U.S. Women's National Team as its flagship senior sides, plus a full ladder of youth national teams for each gender from U-14 through U-23. Extended national programmes cover Beach Soccer, Futsal, Cerebral Palsy, and Deaf disciplines for both genders, alongside a co-ed Power Soccer national team. In 2026 the federation opened the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Fayetteville, Georgia, consolidating team preparation, coaching education, and referee development on one campus. USSF administers the U.S. Soccer Coaching Pathway, referee grading and safeguarding certifications, and a Talent Identification programme that scouts prospects for the national-team pipeline through regional camps and MLS NEXT partnerships. Public-facing services include national-team ticketing, premium seating and group orders, the Insider membership, the official U.S. Soccer online store, and health-and-wellness resources for clubs and organizations. Financial governance is documented through publicly filed statements, with executive leadership under a President and CEO reporting to an elected board.
