We’re taking the pitch this week (not that pitch).
Soccer season is in full swing in the United States right now. The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and Major League Soccer (MLS) are around the halfway point of their respective seasons.
The top MLS players are gearing up to take on Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid, which features international superstar Christiano Ronaldo, in the MLS All-Star Game on Aug. 2 at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The popularity of soccer in America is on the rise.
The U.S. Women’s National Team is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, while last year’s MLS season overall attendance numbers reached more than 14.7 million fans—more than double the total for the 2009 season, which totaled 7.2 million in overall attendance.
Both national teams are also hosting important tournaments this summer.
The Men’s National Team’s youthful roster advanced past the opening stage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. They will now bring on six National Team veterans for the quarterfinal against El Salvador.
The Women’s National Team will host the inaugural Tournament of Nations, starting July 27. Along with the United States, this four-team tournament also features Japan, Brazil and Australia—four of the top 10 teams in the world.
Though the MLS has enjoyed a growing fan base, its attendance numbers still have quite a way to go if it wants to hit the 27.2 million mark that England’s top league, the Barclay’s Premier League, reached last year.
Want to help grow the loyal soccer following in the United States? MLS is looking for a senior communications manager in New York.
Interested candidates would manage the placement of MLS-related lifestyle and philanthropic stories in pop culture and entertainment media outlets.
The position also requires managing publicity for major MLS events and assisting in the communications strategy for international events.
