2. Executive Summary
• The US Soccer Industry is a distinct and rapidly growing industry. It is characterized
by a dichotomy between participant and viewer-ship populations. This dichotomy is
not found in any other mainstream sports industry, such as baseball, basketball,
football or foreign soccer industries. US soccer’s participant population numbers
exceed 18 million people, which are made up of mostly middle-class Americans,
Multicultural Hispanic-Americans and more than 7 million soccer-playing women. In
fact, the US Hispanic population has exceeded 35 million people and youth soccer
registration in the US has increased by 233% over the past 10 years.
• In addition, viewer-ship of soccer in the US has grown greatly over the past few years,
with the US national Team’s attendance today averaging about 47,000 spectators.
The emergence of (MLS) Major League Soccer has created stability and a true
professional soccer league in the United States. The overall industry has become
more mature and ripe for corporate partnerships throughout all segments of the
industry.
• Staffed with dynamic professionals who are highly respected in their areas of
expertise, Soccer Marketing & Promotions and Se Habla Fútbol are committed to
providing its clients with the resources necessary to capitalize on the explosive
growth of soccer in both the US mainstream as well as the multicultural Hispanic
markets across the United States.
