"U.S. Soccer Board Approves Pay for USSF President"
U.S. Soccer members voted to approve a $150,000 annual stipend for the USSF president, marking the first time the position will be paid. The decision follows a previous failed attempt to pass a similar amendment. Arguments for compensation included the demanding nature of the role, the need to attract qualified candidates, and increasing accessibility to a diverse range of candidates. Those against the amendment raised concerns about tax-exempt status and the position's prestige as sufficient compensation.
