Florida Club League to focus on NPL and ECNL Regional League platforms

US Club Soccer has announced a sanctioning agreement with the Florida Club League, which is rapidly expanding its footprint within the NPL and ECNL for the 2020-2021 season.

The league oversees league and club-based competitive opportunities, as well as player identification and development components for top clubs in the state.

The Florida Club League’s stated mission is to provide the best soccer experience in the state of Florida, where all teams can play and develop, regardless of race, creed, sex, ability or economic status. The league’s structure features tiered competition, including the ECNL Regional League, Florida NPL, Florida Club League One, Florida Club League Two and Florida Club Development League. The cup-based opportunities are highlighted by the annual Florida Cup, which includes a pathway to US Club Soccer’s National Cup.
