About Soccer Forward
Soccer Forward Foundation is a key driver in U.S. Soccer’s overall vision that soccer is a force for good. Operating with the belief that soccer contributes to healthier and more connected communities, Soccer Forward supports U.S. Soccer’s efforts to expand access to the sport, helping the game reach more people and create lasting change.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to take soccer’s power and the impact it can have to a whole new level. To supersize its scale and its effect. As U.S. Soccer’s legacy initiative of the FIFA Men’s World Cup 2026, and additional major sporting events coming to the U.S. on the horizon, we have an unprecedented window of opportunity. So we’re putting all our energy into three major initiatives, with the knowledge that what’s good for the game is good for the wider world beyond it.
OUR THREE WAYS FORWARD
Soccer: For Everyone, Everywhere
Making soccer accessible to everyone in the U.S., everywhere in the U.S. by supporting the people, programs and places that are having an impact in their communities every day.
Soccer: For Health
Making the nation healthier, both physically and mentally, through soccer with cutting-edge research and training, creating breakthrough programs in key areas like women’s health and mental health.
Soccer: For Excellence and Development at all Levels in the Women’s Game
Making women’s soccer the best it can be here and around the world through developing standards for our teams and in our communities. And this isn’t just for us. We’ll share them too, supporting other nations and organizations around the world that aspire to the same levels of excellence.
