2021 Veteran Eligibility List Overview This is the list of individuals eligible in the election that will choose Veterans to be inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2021. This list is based on the criteria that were established by the Board of Directors of the Hall of Fame in April 2007 and modified in 2020.

To be eligible for the National Soccer Hall of Fame Veteran Ballot, an individual must have met No. 1 and either No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4:

A player must have played at least 20 full international games for the Men’s National Team, Women’s National Team or Extended National Team (Paralympic, Beach & ). This 20-game requirement is reduced to 10 games if the games were prior to 1990 and 5 games if the games were prior to 1960. 3. A player must have played at least five seasons in a United States first-division professional league* and been a postseason league all-star at least once. (Best XI) 4. A player must have played at least five seasons in the Major League between the end of the NASL in 1984 and the end of the MISL in 1992 and been selected as a first-team postseason all-star in at least one of those seasons.

Veteran Sunset Rule: An individual will be removed (sunset) from the Veteran Eligibility List if they do not appear on the 10-person Final Veteran Ballot in eight consecutive years. An individual can be reinstated to the Veteran Eligibility List when an application is made to the National Soccer Hall of Fame by anyone seeking to have a sunset candidate restored. The application will automatically be accepted and allow the clock to reset the sunset rule for another eight years.

Note: This list contains some players who did not meet new criteria set in 2008 but had met the old criteria (which included Open Cup and League championships). They have been retained on this list as specified at the time of that change.

* Since 1968, the United States’ first-division professional leagues are: (MLS), Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA), Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS), National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and the original North Soccer League (NASL).

For United States National Team eligible players, a match can be with any professional or semiprofessional team in the United States or abroad, including official non-league events such as the U.S. Open Cup and the CONCACAF Champions League. If the player is not eligible to play for the United States, he or she is considered to be retired for purposes of this list on departing from American professional soccer, unless he or she continues playing professional soccer in another country at a level ruled by the Hall of Fame's historians to be equivalent to or better than the top American leagues.
