Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC announced that their men's second team, Riverhounds 2, will compete in USL League Two starting in 2026, providing a crucial platform for player development and transition to professional soccer.
U.S. Soccer has selected Fayette County, Georgia as the site for its new National Training Center, a key component of the Federation's strategic plan to grow soccer in the country. The location in Trilith was chosen for its accessibility, proximity to Atlanta's major airport, optimal climate, and the opportunity to drive economic impact. The facility, supported by a $50 million contribution from Arthur M. Blank, will include over a dozen soccer fields, indoor courts, high-performance facilities, and headquarters space. It will serve as a central hub for player development, training, and performance analysis for all 27 U.S. Soccer National Teams. The National Training Center is expected to create over 400 jobs and represent an investment of over $200 million.
