The MLS GO PLAY FUND is an annual financial commitment from Major League Soccer (MLS), an initiative designed to expand access to youth recreational soccer through MLS GO leagues. This fund is dedicated to removing economic barriers and supporting our mission to make soccer more accessible for all children.
