How do I purchase a new membership?

New U.S. Soccer SC memberships can be purchased here. All purchase-related questions should be directed to ussoccerfan@ussoccer.org and a U.S. Soccer representative will respond and assist you.

How do I renew my current membership?

As U.S. Soccer continues to offer the U.S. Soccer SC program, members will receive notification via email 30 days prior to their membership expiration date inviting them to renew their membership. Renewals are not processed on ussoccerstore.com.

Members must sign up separately to continue benefits beyond their initial 12-month membership term; there is no automatic renewal. Membership numbers will remain the same, with a new membership card issued for each renewal year.

Can I purchase a U.S. Soccer SC membership as a gift for someone else?

Absolutely. U.S. Soccer SC memberships make the perfect gift for the U.S. Soccer fans on your shopping list. Gift memberships can be purchased on ussoccerstore.com. During the ordering process, you will be asked if you are purchasing the U.S. Soccer SC membership as a gift. If you select “Yes,” you will then be prompted and required to enter the gift recipient’s name, mailing address, and valid email address. Gift recipients must be 13 years or older.

Can I have multiple memberships in my name?

No, only one U.S. Soccer SC membership is permitted per person. Ticketing rights may be limited if more than one U.S. Soccer SC membership is held per household. Please direct all ticketing-related U.S. Soccer SC questions in writing to ussoccerfan@ussoccer.org.

Is my U.S. Soccer SC membership transferable?

U.S. Soccer SC membership transfers will only be permitted within the first 30 days after purchase. After 30 days, transfer requests will not be honored. In addition, there is a limit of one membership per person; so no memberships may be transferred to any person already holding a membership. Members wishing to transfer their memberships during this 30-day period must send a written request via email to ussoccerfan@ussoccer.org. The email address used to send the transfer request must match the email address tied to your U.S. Soccer SC account in order to process the transfer. Memberships can only be transferred a maximum of one time and only to recipients who are 13 or older.

NOTE: 2010 priority is tied with U.S. Soccer SC membership. The person transferring their membership to another party relinquishes any right to member benefits, including ticketing priority, while the recipient gains all the aforementioned benefits.

Is my U.S. Soccer SC membership refundable?

No, U.S. Soccer SC memberships are not refundable.

Is my U.S. Soccer SC membership tax deductible?

No. The value of the benefits, items and services included in a fan club membership is greater than the actual cost of the membership. Therefore, under IRS rules, the fee is not eligible for deduction.

How does U.S. Soccer SC differ from organized supporters groups such as Sam’s Army and American Outlaws?

U.S. Soccer SC is the official fan club for the U.S. National Teams. Sam’s Army, American Outlaws and similar groups are independently organized. While supporting the U.S. National Teams is central to all of these organizations, U.S. Soccer SC members will receive certain benefits that only U.S. Soccer can offer, such as 2010 ticketing priority, exclusive officially-licensed products, merchandise discounts and behind-the-scenes experiences.

I am a member of Sam’s Army or American Outlaws. What does U.S. Soccer SC mean for me?

Members of supporters clubs are encouraged to join U.S. Soccer SC to take advantage of the official affiliation with the Federation which provides members with the benefits listed here. U.S. Soccer will continue to work with independently organized groups to provide complementary benefits such including special seating sections at matches and stadium access for staging banners, etc.

Who is eligible for U.S. Soccer SC?

U.S. Soccer SC membership is open to all legal residents of the United States 13 years of age and older. Those between the ages of 13 and 18 may become a member with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. International fans are also eligible for U.S. Soccer SC memberships (additional shipping costs may apply for the U.S. Soccer SC membership package.)

Whom do I contact with questions about U.S. Soccer SC?

Members with questions about the program or needing any assistance with their membership are encouraged to contact ussoccerfan@ussoccer.org for help. We will assist you promptly based on your written request.
