Just in time for the FIFA World Cup, US Soccer unveiled its impressive new headquarters just outside Trilith.

Situated on a 200-acre site, the $250 million National Training Center occupies 123 developed acres, designed to accommodate future expansion as the game continues to grow and evolve. Today, the facility features:

• 17 outdoor playing surfaces including 13 regulation size natural grass fields, two artificial turf fields and two sand pitches for beach soccer
• More than 400,000 square feet of total facilities, including two indoor playing surfaces featuring an indoor artificial turf training facility and a full-size futsal/power court
• Indoor space that boasts a 10,000 square foot high-performance gym, 20 locker rooms, 19 meeting rooms for members, coaches and community, and dedicated headquarters space for all U.S. Soccer staff

Atlanta Falcons and PGA Superstore owner Arthur Blank donated $50 million to the effort. The Fayette County Development Authority issued a $200 million tax-exempt bond. AT&T, Bank of America, Chobani, Coca-Cola, Emory Healthcare, Nike, and ŌURA also contributed to the effort.

The U.S. Soccer Federation broke ground on the $200 million National Training Center (NTC) and Headquarters, which will be called the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center.

The former co-owner of Home Depot and current owner of the Atlanta Falcons, Blank donated $50 million to the project. The training center will span 200 acres and include more than a dozen soccer fields and over 100,000 square feet of indoor courts for all 27 U.S. Soccer National Teams, including Senior Women’s and Men’s, Youth and Extended National Teams. The facility will also include more than 200,000 square feet of high-performance facilities, locker rooms, meeting rooms and headquarters space for all U.S. Soccer employees and is expected to open in 2026. 

The location of the center will be in Trilith in Fayette County. The Town at Trilith is adjacent to Trilith Studios, a major film and television production studio in Fayette County.
