Play Abroad

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is on American soil, but the players who earned their spot built their careers abroad. 🌍🇺🇸
21 out of 26 USMNT players left home to become pros. Italy. England. Germany. France. Spain. And now they're playing on the biggest stage in the world. 🏆⚽

Training and playing abroad doesn't just make you a better player, it opens doors that simply don't exist at home. Higher competition. Elite academies. Year-round development. Exposure to coaches and clubs that scouts actually watch. Players who take that leap don't just grow, they transform. Pulisic. Adams. Reyna. Balogun. They all made that choice. And look where they are now. 🔥

81% of this World Cup roster plays outside the US. That's not a coincidence, that's the pathway.
If you've ever dreamed of playing abroad, the time is now. At US Play Abroad, we help young players find real opportunities in international leagues, connect with clubs, and take the next step in their journey.
The pathway is already here, you just have to take it. 💫

The gap between you and your soccer potential is not just hard work. US Soccer system is broken and the numbers make it impossible to ignore —
454,000 boys start. ~40 get drafted into MLS.
390,000 girls start. 56 made the final NWSL draft — ever.
The college soccer pathways are real. But for most, it's where the dream ends, not where it takes off.

Most of the players that actually make it train in Europe. More matches, UEFA-licensed coaches, and international exposure — all while keeping NCAA eligibility intact.
