Changing Lives Transforming Communities 2016 Annual Report CHANGING LIVES TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 1 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO AND THE CHAIRMAN Thanks to your support, the U.S. Soccer Foundation had an exciting year of growth. Our national programs reached kids and families in more than 150 cities across the country. In addition, with the help of our partners, we’re working with organizations to use soccer to make a positive impact in their communities. With the new year came new opportunities, as we launched the 20 for 20 Mini-Pitch Initiative in partnership with MLS Works, adidas, and Southern New Hampshire University. This project brought new Safe Places to Play to kids in 20 underserved communities that are also home to MLS’ 20 clubs. As we continued our growth, we launched Leadership Councils in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Our Leadership Council members are dedicated to making soccer more accessible to kids by funding our soccer programs in their local communities. The evidence behind Soccer for Success grew as well, as an additional independent evaluation determined that Soccer for Success led to positive outcomes for kids. We are thrilled about the growth of the organization this year, and look forward to increasing our impact. Our success this year wouldn’t have been possible without your support. Because of you, we were able to inspire families and neighborhoods, and transform communities. From first-time donors to long-term partners, we are thankful for you all.

  • 1 BEFORE the UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant Vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAIN
    BEFORE THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAINT UNDER SECTION 220527 OF THE TED STEVENS ACT I. INTRODUCTION 1. Pursuant to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act1 (the “Stevens Act”), the United States Olympic Committee (“USOC”) has recognized the United States Soccer Federation (“USSF” or the “Federation”) as the National Governing Body (“NGB”) for the sport of soccer in the United States. This Complaint is being filed because the USSF has become blinded to its fundamental obligation as an NGB to “develop interest and participation throughout the United States and be responsible to the persons and amateur sports organizations it represents.”2 Instead, because of the power, prestige, status and money flowing from the Federation’s alliance with Major League Soccer, a professional men’s league (the “MLS”), and its affiliate, Soccer United Marketing, LLC (“SUM”), the USSF’s paramount concern has become protecting and nurturing the MLS, even if at the expense of other stakeholders, including those involved in professional women’s and amateur soccer. 1 36 U.S.C. § 220501 et seq. 2 Id. § 220524(1). 1 2. Because of its institutional bias in favor of MLS and commercial partnership with SUM, the Federation now appears to believe that its effectiveness should be judged not by how well amateur, youth, women’s and non-MLS men’s professional soccer are doing, but how well MLS is performing and how much money the Federation’s partnership with SUM is generating. Some Federation officials believe they are doing a good job because the entry fee MLS charges new teams keeps increasing even though not a penny of that money goes to the Federation or its non-MLS stakeholders.

Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Funding for this research was provided in part by Harvard Business School. MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.
