This partnership marks a groundbreaking step for our club and opens up extraordinary opportunities, initially for our Boys Gold team and eventually for all our players at Sozo FC.

Sozo FC and MLS NEXT: A New Era Begins

Currently, MLS NEXT provides options specifically for our Boys Gold team, offering them a platform to compete against some of the best young talent in the nation. This inclusion is a testament to the skill level and potential within our team, recognized by one of the most prestigious youth soccer organizations in the United States.

Our Boys Gold team will benefit from:
  • Advanced Competition: Participating in matches that challenge and push our players to their limits.
  • Professional Exposure: Opportunities to be seen and scouted by college and professional teams.
  • Elite Coaching and Training: Access to resources and guidance from top-tier coaches involved with MLS NEXT.

Future Plans for Inclusion and Expansion


While our Boys Gold team is the first to participate, plans are underway to include our Boys Royal and Girls teams in MLS NEXT. The expansion of this program to include more of our teams underscores our vision to provide equal and substantial opportunities for all our players, regardless of gender.


We are actively working with MLS NEXT to explore all possible avenues for inclusion so that every talented player in our club has the opportunity to benefit from this high-level competition and exposure.

At Sozo FC, we are proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of our players both on and off the field. This season, our high school girls team has reached a remarkable milestone—with six players officially committing to play college soccer, and two additional players gaining the opportunity to play overseas in Portugal.

These players didn’t just represent Sozo FC—they represented Yakima, Washington, and the incredible potential that exists in our community. Experiences like these broaden perspectives and ignite greater passion and purpose, inspiring not just the players involved but everyone in our club.
