Behind the Dream
U.S. Soccer is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that receives no funding from government. Support from donors is essential to our work in service to soccer.
We have a full Advancement team working in service to soccer across the country. To learn more about how you can make a gift, please contact us below.
We are in 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. This dream is not a fantasy. It's a destination that we are all working towards. It’s an idea that we can all get behind.
Every act of support for U.S. Soccer fuels our nonprofit mission in service to soccer. Attending a match, buying a shirt, or making a donation. Behind The Dream: The Campaign for the Future of Soccer in America is an invitation to make a lasting impact on the game that moves us. We welcome all who share these aspirations to join us. Our time is now.
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 winning teams emerge from an integrated strategy. Our vision is to scale programming to match the size of our nation; to discover and nurture more players, coaches, and referees; and to create the pathways for talent to fulfill its boundless potential.

Cindy Parlow Cone, President of the U.S. Soccer Federation
"This campaign is supporting the future of soccer for everyone. It will help bring to life the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center, one of the most accessible facilities in the world. As Extended National Team athletes, we have reached the pinnacle of our sport. Now, at this world-class facility, we will be able to take our game to the next level and focus on winning world championships.”
Jordan Dickey, U.S. Power Soccer National Team
“Elite performance does not begin and end on matchday. It requires a full commitment to the facilities, coaches, and staff that support the team each day. Behind the Dream: The Campaign for the Future of Soccer in America ensures that we will have the necessary resources to succeed on the pitch—now and in the future.”
Emma Hayes, Head Coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team
“There’s so much untapped talent in this country. This campaign is going to help us find it—whether it's a kid playing in a small town in Texas or a futsal court in New York. Expanding our scouting means giving more players the chance to be seen, and that’s how we get stronger as a national team.”
Tyler Adams, U.S. Men's National Team
“To develop the best possible players, you need consistent, high-level competition. The Campaign for the Future of Soccer in America will help us fund more essential camp and competitive opportunities for all 27 of our National Teams.”
Matt Crocker, Sporting Director of the U.S. Soccer Federation
"So many young girls dream of representing their country, but dreams require opportunity. Because I got those opportunities, I know how important those experiences are for a player’s growth. This campaign will enable more competitive opportunities for our Youth National Team players at a critical stage of their development. That’s so important for the future of the U.S. Women’s National Team."
