U.S. Soccer Unveils Logo for Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center
Training Center Expected to Open in 2026
ATLANTA (August 19, 2024) – U.S. Soccer unveiled the logo for the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center today.
Inspired by the U.S. Soccer crest and the national flag, the logo symbolizes our aspiration to make this facility the capital of soccer in America. Its upward movement reflects our relentless pursuit of excellence, while the stripes evoke our rich national history and the collaborative spirit of soccer.
In April, U.S. Soccer announced that the Training Center would be named after Arthur M. Blank, whose transformational $50 million lead investment will significantly impact the sport in the U.S. Blank’s generous contribution will fund the construction of the facility and support areas dedicated to the nine Extended National Teams, making it a pioneering hub for these teams. Blank’s donation will also bolster U.S. Soccer’s unified sporting strategy and Youth National Team program.
“Arthur has been a key leader from the start, connecting us with stakeholders in Atlanta and Fayetteville and providing an extraordinary lead gift,” said U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone. “We are honored to name our new National Training Center after him and the new logo represents the capital of soccer in the United States.”
"On behalf of my family, our foundation and our portfolio of businesses, it is an honor to be part of the U.S. Soccer Federation, where our young athletes have the opportunity to chase their dreams,” said Arthur M. Blank, owner and chairman of the Blank Family of Businesses. “This emblem represents the spirit of American soccer, highlighting unity and passion, and I look forward to seeing the growth of the beautiful game across the United States.”
The Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center is a critical component of U.S. Soccer’s ambitious strategic plan to grow the sport nationwide. Spanning 200 acres, the facility will feature over a dozen soccer fields, 100,000 sq. ft. of indoor courts for all 27 U.S. Soccer National Teams—including Senior Women’s and Men’s, Youth, and Extended National Teams—and 200,000 sq. ft. of high-performance facilities, locker rooms, meeting rooms, and headquarters space for all U.S. Soccer employees. The Training Center is set to open in 2026, marking a significant milestone in U.S. Soccer’s journey.
