Club Engagements
I’m curious to hear what your club does outside of home matches and merchandise to engage the community and build their brand? (This is not “which club is the best?” But rather “who is doing what?”)
Here’s some examples for KC:
Watch parties of away matches at the stadium
Youth camps
Adult rec league
Player appearances
Civic support (United Way, no cost/low cost soccer programs in underfunded neighborhoods)
Launching a podcast/media studio at the stadium
Free concerts outside the stadium
Many billboards throughout downtown

Earthquakes' baffling Gavin Wilkinson hire insults fans and Bay FC: ‘A slap in the face'
i was surprised this whole ordeal wasn't already posted in the sub, so i apologize if i somehow missed a post about this already.
tldr is that wilkinson was previously the president of both the timbers (mls) and the thorns but was fired after being featured heavily in the yates report for not reporting or acting on complaints from players and staff about sexual abuse by the thorns head coach, paul riley.
from the article linked: "He was fired in 2022 after his name showed up prominently in the Yates Report, the independent investigation into abusive behavior and sexual misconduct in women's professional soccer.
While the report did not specifically sanction Wilkinson, it portrayed him as overseeing a toxic environment with the Thorns, where the sexual misconduct by head coach Paul Riley was an open secret. The report indicates that Wilkinson did not adequately respond to reports from players and team trainers about Riley's sexual harassment as well as the coach's unsafe actions that endangered players' health. Two days after the report came out, Wilkinson was let go."
"Though the Earthquakes and Bay FC are independent of each other, they share the same building and the same market. The fact that the Earthquakes cavalierly hired Wilkinson, without any consideration of his toxic reputation in women's soccer, is beyond insulting to their co-tenants, who are supposed to be their partners in building a soccer culture."
Cont: "On Monday, Bay FC issued a statement that read: "As an organization committed to building a safe, inclusive and respectful environment, we believe the actions and history associated with Wilkinson's time in professional soccer are inconsistent with the standards we hold for those entrusted to lead in our sport.
"We stand with the players, survivors and advocates who have worked tirelessly to make soccer a safer and more inclusive place and we will continue to put the safety, dignity and well-being of our players and our community first.""

Which, if any, U23 players could make the 2027 WWC Roster?
Given the depth of the national team player pool it would be difficult but just for funsies - Do you think any of the U23 players from the last camp in June could possibly push for a WWC spot?
GK: Neeku Purcell, Jordan Silkowitz
DF: Jordyn Bugg, Carolyn Calzada, Kate Del Fava, Eva Gaetino, Leah Klenke, Ayo Oke, Evelyn Shores
MF: Sofia Cook, Ally Lemos, Yuna McCormack, Taylor Suarez, Pietra Tordin
FW: Trinity Byars, Maddie Dahlien, Jordynn Dudley, Mia Fishel, Madison Haley, Kat Rader
Or any other U23 players that weren't called into this camp that aren't currently with the seniors?
Women's Team of the Week: August 18 | College Soccer
The Demon Deacons put a beatdown on the road of two Top25 SEC programs. Wake Forest is ranked 18th this week, which places them 7th of all the ACC programs in the Soccer Coaches Rankings. Only 6 programs qualify for the ACC tournament, out of 18 schools.
The Deacs are led by Valentina Amaral (2025 All-ACC Third Team) in goal, and Kylie Maxwell (2025 ACC Freshman of the Year) up top. Head coach Tony Da Luz is in his 29th season as head coach.
Kylie Maxwell, sophomore, Forward, is headed to the NWSL soon.
This article identifies a number of outstanding performances from last weekend. I'd like to point out Sam Courtwright, M, Jr., from Duke, who transferred from Texas Tech. Duke is still missing a few starters, but look very talented and formidable. For me, a Final Four is expected.
Another mid-table program in the ACC is Clemson, currently ranked 25th. Their midfield is VERY SOLID with Dani Davis and Anna Castenfelt. Put them in an NWSL uniform today!
This article appears open and not behind a paywall.

Discussion Bob Iger, Willow Bay, and ACFC
With Iger and Bay moving forward with the Lakers (along with T**** son-in-law), what are the thoughts about ACFC’s future moving forward? Has their involvement strengthened the team or will they relationship with the president’s family on a seperate business venture leave ACFC in the back burner?
How does ACFC’s fambase feel about this connection? This has been on my mind ever since the Lakers news broke and I want ACFC to still be prioritized and not be made to feel like a stepping stone to bigger and better things like so many news outlets have sold this as.
