Soccer For All: Everyone is welcome in MLS

MLS is dedicated to supporting the communities where we live and play our games, and to providing an environment in which our staff, players, partners and fans are treated with dignity and respect.


Soccer For All, which is returning in 2019, signifies that everyone is welcome to MLS, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status.


New this year, MLS WORKS has partnered with EverFi to initiate a digital education program focused on bullying prevention. The program, ‘Actions Matter,’ will be implemented in 120 schools throughout all MLS markets, reaching approximately 40,000 youth in grades 8-11 during the program’s inaugural year.


In addition, the 2nd annual Soccer For All Month will kick off on May 22 and run through the end of June, showcasing the collective efforts taking place throughout the League to foster more inclusive communities. While the campaign is season-long, Soccer For All Month highlights existing partnerships and focuses on activations taking place in local MLS markets.


Fans can show their support by joining the #SoccerForAll conversation on Twitter and Instagram. To learn more about MLS in the community, follow @MLSWORKS on Twitter and Instagram or visit MLSsoccer.com/mls-works.
