As part of our U.S. Soccer Strategic Vision, we highlighted the importance of growing the game, fostering the best playing environments, and developing winning teams. After releasing the strategy, we began collecting feedback from members and stakeholders across the landscape that suggested the need for a more comprehensive ecosystem review. We recently completed the first two phases of the review and are now moving into Phase 3 – co-create workplans against our shared ecosystem goals. We will continue to need your feedback to ensure our collective success.

Our goal is to empower our ecosystem to make soccer everywhere, achieve soccer success, and maximize soccer investment.

Phase 1 - Collect Feedback and Assess – Complete
Set an engagement model to complete this review and assess current state characteristics

Phase 2 – Develop Co-Authored Strategies – Complete
Develop a high-level strategic framework with shared ambitions to tackle the opportunities identified

Phase 3 – Agree to Workplan – In Progress
Create workplan to collaborate with landscape stakeholders to facilitate progress against our shared ecosystem goals

Phase 4 – Implement
