OUSD EXPANDS PARTNERSHIP WITH U.S. SOCCER TO GROW GAME AT OAKLAND SCHOOLS

Oakland Unified School District announced Thursday that it will expand its partnership with the U.S. Soccer Federation to grow youth soccer opportunities at Oakland schools.

The district will work specifically with the Soccer Forward Foundation, U.S. Soccer's community-impact effort that was launched to expand nationwide access with connection to the FIFA World Cup 26. The partnership aims to expand the Soccer at Schools initiative, which will train educators across the district on how to integrate soccer into the school day starting in the 2026-27 school year.
