U.S. Soccer added three new Supporting Partners – Kwik Goal, FieldTurf, John Deere (in partnership with Beard Equipment) – and one Supplier Partner, True Natural Gas, who join Musco Sports Lighting in powering the construction and operation of the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center (NTC), the new home for soccer in the United States.
These industry leaders are not simply supplying equipment or services, they are teaming up with U.S. Soccer to help shape the future of the game through shared values, innovation, and a long-term commitment to excellence.
“These partners are instrumental in bringing the NTC to life and we are grateful for their support,” said Lewis Fisher, director, partnership development, U.S. Soccer. “Their commitment goes beyond bricks and mortar, it’s a shared investment in the people who make our game possible: players, coaches, referees, fans, staff, and the communities that form the foundation of American soccer. Together, we’re building more than a facility, we’re creating a home for the future of the game.”

NTC: more than a training facility
Opening in Spring 2026 in Fayetteville, Georgia, just outside Atlanta, the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center is a cornerstone of U.S. Soccer’s long-term vision to grow the game nationwide. As the new home for all 27 National Teams, it will also serve as the central hub for coach and referee education, high-performance research, and community programming.
This is where the U.S. Way player development philosophy comes to life, driven by accessibility, innovation, and the relentless commitment to excellence.
Located on 200 acres, the facility will feature:
- More than a dozen full-size soccer fields
- 100,000+ sq. ft. of indoor playing space
- 200,000+ sq. ft. of high-performance and meeting facilities
- Headquarters for U.S. Soccer staff
With the support of key NTC partners, U.S. Soccer is building a sustainable, world-class home for American soccer. Centralizing operations will generate long-term cost savings that can be reinvested into player development, grassroots growth, and competitive success. It will also be a national hub for learning, innovation, and access to unlock potential and elevate every level of the game.
