Atlanta has emerged as the front-runner to be the next home of the U.S. Soccer Federation’s headquarters and training center, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations who wasn’t authorized to speak on the record.
U.S. Soccer is considering either Atlanta or Cary, N.C. as its next destination. U.S. Soccer is currently headquartered in Chicago.
A decision is expected to be made within six months.
Additionally, Coca-Cola, headquartered in Atlanta, was announced recently as the first Founding sponsor for the next site. There will be many Founding sponsors.
U.S. Soccer is considering sites all around metro Atlanta to house the complex, which will include the headquarters, training center and at least 14 pitches to house all of the teams: men’s, women’s and youth national teams for both genders, as well as other extended teams.
Atlanta is one of several U.S. cities that will host matches in the 2026 World Cup. It also the home of Atlanta United, which has led MLS in attendance in each of its first six seasons and is leading the league again this season.
What the city doesn’t have is a history of hosting the U.S. men’s national team. It has played in the city twice since 1977, and most recently in 2015. The U.S. women last played in Atlanta in 2016.
