Support Soccer in America

BEHIND THE DREAM
The Campaign for the Future of Soccer in America

We’re on the horizon of the most exciting era in American soccer history. To seize this opportunity and harness this momentum, the U.S. Soccer Federation is launching a $250 million fundraising campaign. Together we will unite our community, grow the game, invest in excellence, and inspire the nation.

We all share a dream for soccer. We can express it in many ways, but it’s one dream. To grow this game that moves us. To give everyone, everywhere the opportunity to play. To win on the world stage. To nurture a new generation of leaders. To uplift communities. To transform lives.

With Behind the Dream: The Campaign for the Future of Soccer in America, we are investing $250 million into 3 strategies priorities: Our Teams, Our Home, and Our Legacy.

Our Teams
Our Teams hold the potential to unite us, inspire us, and move the game forward. We know that stars arise from grassroots foundations, and that consistently winning teams emerge from an integrated strategy and an unrelenting commitment to excellence. Investing across the soccer landscape. Scaling programming to match the size of our nation. Discovering and nurturing more players, coaches, and referees. Creating the pathways for talent to fulfill its boundless potential.

With your support we will:

• Increase camps and competitions for our 27 National Teams 
• Expand scouting so that every player has the chance to be seen 
• Create a new tech infrastructure for individualized player development 
• Provide professional development for coaches, referees, and staff

Our Home
Our Home is a dream taking shape on 200 rolling acres in Metro Atlanta. The Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center is purpose-built to elevate the game. Advancing player development. Building team cohesion. Creating a winning culture. All in service to soccer. This will be the place where heroes train, stars are born, and our national soccer community comes together.  

With your support, we will… 

• Build a center of excellence to elevate all aspects of the game
• Create a world-class facility to serve the entire soccer landscape
• Provide accessible, inclusive, and excellent experiences for every athlete
• Manifest the U.S. Way by hosting hundreds of learning and development opportunities for players, coaches, and referees each year

Our Legacy
Our Legacy will be the enduring proof that soccer is a force for good in our lives, our communities, and our world. As we enter the most exciting era in the history of our sport, we know that soccer can spark a brighter future. Ensuring access. Increasing participation. Improving wellbeing. Uplifting and uniting communities. Creating opportunity for women and girls across the country and around the world.  

With your support, we’ll make soccer available to everyone, everywhere by: 

• Get soccer into more schools and after-school programs 
• Invest in more inclusive, accessible places to play 
• Improve standards of the game for women and girls 
• Connect positive health outcomes to the benefits of our sport
