Overview

  • U.S. Soccer will build a national training facility in the Atlanta area, funded partly by a $50 million donation from Arthur Blank.
  • The exact location is still to be finalized, but construction on the facility is expected to begin in 2023.
  • The facility will serve as U.S. Soccer's headquarters and include training fields, education facilities, and more.
  • It is unclear how much the USMNT and USWNT will use the facility due to the size of the U.S.
  • Blank's donation will also support facilities for extended national teams, community programming, and a DEIB innovation lab.
