My work is to usher in the upcoming USA soccer promotion/relegation system. It's time to wake the sleeping giant of world soccer ⚽️. - #ProRelforUSA

[Ben Fast ⚽️ 🇺🇸 @bwfast]

Soccer is massive in the USA

MLS is not massive in the USA

🇺🇸 is a world class market for soccer & its people go bonkers for authentic club soccer every year.

USA soccer is drastically held back by the U.S. Soccer Federation/MLS closed system.

The USA has DOZENS of different ethnic and minority groups that have tens/hundreds of thousands and millions of passionate soccer fans.

Don't buy the myth that soccer is a small sport in America. USA has 30-50+ million soccer fans.

Here is Haiti in Florida, USA:

@RobAbramowitz @lizzy_becherano @davejsports We do not care about Inter Miami !! We show up for our country

[Ben Fast ⚽️ 🇺🇸 @bwfast]

@RobAbramowitz @living_agent @lizzy_becherano @davejsports @InterMiamiCF Because Inter Miami is plastic and not organic. It does not represent a people and culture in an authentic way. Closed systems breed plastic franchises.

Haiti fans showed up in the thousands for the friendly against New Zealand in Fort Lauderdale.

Great atmosphere from the Haitian community just days before their World Cup debut on June 13.

USA could have scenes like this in over 100 of its cities and communities under the future USA soccer promotion/relegation system.

Who else is ready for #ProRelforUSA?

🏟️ Ambiance de folie au Riazor ! Les supporters du RC Deportivo sont venus en masse pour célébrer une montée historique.

🌊 Une véritable marée humaine ! Quelle image incroyable !

At least 80 US cities have more residents than A Caruna, Spain.

More American soccer owners face relegation abroad than “own” MLS teams.

[Ben Fast ⚽️ 🇺🇸 @bwfast]

There are 30-50 million soccer-first fans, coaches and players in the USA.

USA is the sleeping giant of world soccer/football.

Promotion/relegation is stability and amazing opportunity.

#ProRelforUSA

[Ben Fast ⚽️ 🇺🇸 @bwfast]

It is tricky for USL because promotion/relegation needs to happen throughout the entire USA soccer pyramid - not just one league or group of leagues.

The USL effort is a good start but it is not the full version of #ProRelforUSA yet.

Hundreds of USA soccer clubs would begin to build and mobilize like this as soon as promotion/relegation is implemented in USA soccer.

@bwfast We definitely need to talk about pro/rel more

[Andrew Clune @andrewclune24]

@bwfast I highly doubt hundreds of USA teams will pop up and be successful under a pro/rel system. I think the USL are making mistake with their plan to implement pro/rel in 2028.

[Ted Westervelt @soccerreform]

10 years ago today in American professional soccer:

Things most people wouldn't believe. Especially most American soccer people.

The game isn't the problem.

The system is.

🇦🇲🏟️ 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: FC Noah have unveiled their brand new training complex. ✅

The Armenian side were only founded in 2017… and have already become the FIRST club from Armenia to ever reach the play-off stage of a European competition. 🌍 👀

[Ben Fast ⚽️ 🇺🇸 @bwfast]

Do not buy the lie that U.S. sports owners and investors will not be able to tolerate the risk of promotion/relegation.
