November 24 – U.S. Soccer has added four new partners to the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center (NTC) near Atlanta, bringing Kwik Goal, FieldTurf, John Deere in partnership with Beard Equipment, and True Natural Gas into the fold alongside existing partner Musco Sports Lighting.
With the growth of domestic leagues in the form of MLS, USL, and NWSL, and a World Cup on the horizon, aligning with U.S. Soccer is a guarantee that eyeballs will be firmly locked on sponsor products and services.
“These partners are instrumental in bringing the NTC to life, and we are grateful for their support,” said Lewis Fisher, Director of Partnership Development at U.S. Soccer.
“Their commitment goes beyond bricks and mortar, it’s a shared investment in the people who make our game possible: players, coaches, referees, fans, staff, and the communities that form the foundation of American soccer. Together, we’re building more than a facility, we’re creating a home for the future of the game.”
Each partner fills a critical role in building that home. Kwik Goal will supply goals, training gear, and technical equipment. FieldTurf is installing surfaces across the complex, while John Deere and Beard Equipment are supplying a full fleet of turf-maintenance machinery to keep both natural grass and synthetic fields in top condition. True Natural Gas is providing clean, affordable energy to help power the entire campus.
Scheduled to open in spring 2026 in Fayetteville, Georgia, the NTC will serve all 27 National Teams and be the base for everything from coaching and referee education to high-performance research.
With more than a dozen fields, extensive indoor space, and 200,000 square feet dedicated to performance and operations, the centre marks a major step in the federation’s long-term vision to cement the country as a major force in world football.
