Overview

We envision an innovative future for amateur soccer in the United States, one driven by the principles of creativity, originality, and integrity. Imagine a league where clubs are not just participants, but proud co-owners of a dynamic organization they help build. This vision will come to life through the establishment of "The League for Clubs," or simply "The League," an organization focused on producing sustainable and profitable clubs while offering unparalleled opportunities to share in the success they create. Together, we are building a brighter, more equitable soccer landscape.

Forged through a partnership between WPSL ownership and men's clubs seeking an alternative to the confines of existing lower-level leagues, The League will be a summer amateur league that begins play in early May and concludes with a national championship in early August. The League is an affiliate of USASA and offers benefits such as insurance, registration, referees, and a path to the US Open Cup. The inaugural season will kick off in the Summer of 2025.

Member teams in The League will hold a stake in its success through revenue sharing and ownership credits. These credits will be converted into equity if a merger or acquisition occurs. The League is committed to distributing 20% of all net income to teams based on a formula that considers league longevity, with the money credited each year toward the following year's membership dues. In the event of a sale, member teams will receive 51% of all net proceeds. This structure ensures that clubs directly benefit from the league's growth and success.
