Philadelphia Soccer 2026 Investing $2 million in Youth Soccer

Philadelphia Soccer 2026 will partner with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to invest $2 million in youth soccer initiatives surrounding the local region.

In all, the organization will activate 26 soccer-related projects throughout the state ranging from creating new safe places to play to expanding existing programming to ensure kids across the region benefit from sport.

Philadelphia Soccer 2026 will collaborate with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to identify built environment projects (mini pitches) to improve access and provide safe places to play. The organization also will support U.S. Soccer Foundation programming initiatives such as Soccer for Success and Coach-Mentor Training.

In partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, PS2026 will establish an endowment for Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer (EPYS) and PA West, allowing those organizations to present annual awards that honor the legacy and spirit of FIFA World Cup 26 in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania clubs and soccer organizations can apply to be selected as a project recipient.
