Question 1

Is this affiliated with U.S. Soccer?

Accepted Answer

No. The program operates independently and is not affiliated with U.S. Soccer or any U.S. Soccer Federation entity. 
The U.S. Senior Legacy National Soccer Programs were created to provide a structured international pathway for senior athletes beyond traditional federation programming. We operate as a private, self-funded national platform with full administrative and operational control.

Question 2

Is it self-funded?

Accepted Answer

Yes.
All events, tournaments, and operations are self-funded. There is no governing body underwriting costs.
Player registration fees contribute directly toward:
 • Tournament entry fees
 • Official match kits and training apparel
 • Medical coverage and staffing
 • Administrative and operational expenses
 • Field rentals and event logistics
Our objective is to build long-term commercial partnerships that reduce player cost over time, but currently the program operates through a shared commitment model.

Question 3

Is selection guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No.
Participation in a Player ID event does not guarantee selection into a national team pool or tournament roster.
Selection is based on:
 • Performance at ID events
 • Positional need
 • Tactical fit
 • Commitment level
 • Professional conduct
We operate with limited roster spots. Standards are performance-driven and competitive.

Question 4

Are travel costs included?

Accepted Answer

No.
Players are responsible for:
 • Travel (airfare)
 • Accommodation
 • Ground transportation
 • Meals outside of provided team functions
If selected for an international tournament roster, final player contributions are determined based on total event cost. Over the course of a cycle, certain previous ID fees may be credited toward final roster expenses where applicable.
We aim to reduce overall cost through sponsorship and partnerships as the program continues to grow.
