Here’s How the USWNT Will Utilize Michele Kang’s $30 Million Donation- Breaking Down This Historic Investment in Women’s Soccer

Looks like the American women’s soccer landscape is set to witness a significant revolution of a lifetime. For the first time in history, the US Soccer Federation has received a donation of a whopping $30 million in order to support its women’s program. Who played the Good Samaritan role you ask? Save all of your thanks and applause for Michele Kang. While the renowned American businesswoman’s contribution to the growth of the women’s game is nothing short of monumental, the question looms as to how exactly will the USSF utilize this significant funding.
Before we dive into this, let’s learn more about the investment. Precisely, this $30 million donation will be given by Kang over the next five years. This is one of the biggest philanthropic contributions to U.S. Soccer’s women’s and girls’ programs, as well as the largest donation ever made to the USSF by a woman.
Now regarding the utilization of this significant investment from Kang, the US Soccer will be responsible for the growth of the women’s and girls program within the country. This includes setting up more Youth National Team camps, developing more female coaches and referees, and simultaneously building out the talent identification platform.
In a shorter sense, it will provide a major boost to the USWNT youth pipeline, a key focus area since the World Cup. Notably, a statement from the US Soccer read, “Michele Kang’s generous and historic donation will further U.S. Soccer’s work in service to women’s soccer programs at all levels and in all capacities – on and off the pitch.”
“The investment from Kang will provide resources to impact generations of young female athletes.”
