OUR STORY
Stateside Soccer was founded after its two co-founders met while studying at William Penn University in the United States. Both having experienced the US college soccer pathway first-hand, they recognised the life-changing opportunity it created - combining competitive soccer with education, personal development, and a clear route to future careers.
What began as a shared experience quickly became a shared purpose. Drawing on backgrounds in both the UK academy system and US college soccer, Stateside Soccer was created to open those same doors for the next generation of players, providing honest guidance and clear pathways that helps turn talent into opportunity on and off the pitch.
