Fayetteville Fury Seeking Host Families for 2025 USL-W Season

Fayetteville Fury Seeking Host Families for 2025 USL-W Season

Become Part of the Journey for Future Soccer Stars

FAYETTEVILLE, NC – The Fayetteville Fury, proud participants in the 2025 USL-W season, is excited to announce the launch of its Host Family Program, inviting families in Cumberland County to play a vital role in supporting the dreams of young, talented soccer players.

The USL-W League is not just another soccer league — it is the premier women’s pre-professional league in the United States, serving as a critical steppingstone for athletes striving to play at the professional and international levels. It represents the future of women’s soccer, helping bridge the gap between grassroots, college soccer, and professional leagues like the NWSL and beyond.

For the players, many aged 18 to 23, participating in the USL-W season is a life-changing opportunity. With dreams of representing their countries, signing professional contracts, or earning spots in top college programs, these athletes dedicate countless hours to their craft. By becoming a host family, you provide the comfort, stability, and support they need to focus on their soccer journey while being away from home.

Why Hosting Matters

As a host family, you are more than just a place to stay — you are a home away from home for these dedicated athletes. The experience is rewarding, inspiring, and unforgettable for both players and families.

  • Make a Difference: Help a young athlete chase their dreams of professional soccer.
  • Build Lifelong Relationships: Form meaningful bonds with players who will become part of your family.
  • Share in the Excitement: Be part of the thrilling USL-W journey as Fayetteville Fury competes at the highest levels of pre-professional women’s soccer.
  • Grow Our Community: Support the development of soccer in Cumberland County and inspire future generations of athletes.

“Hosting a USL-W player is about more than just soccer,” said Al Florez, Fayetteville Fury Club's Senior Advisor. “You are becoming part of their story, helping them achieve goals that could lead to playing professionally or even representing their countries on the global stage. Hosting is an incredible opportunity for families to make an impact.”

What Hosting a Fayetteville Fury Player Involves

The commitment is straightforward and rewarding:

You Provide:

  • A private bedroom with air conditioning or a window unit.
  • Access to laundry facilities and kitchen space.
  • A welcoming, supportive environment.

You Don’t Need to Provide:

  • Meals (players prepare their own food; team meals are provided on game days).
  • Transportation (players manage their own travel).
  • Financial assistance (to protect player amateur status).

About the USL-W League

The USL-W League is the fastest-growing women’s pre-professional soccer league in the United States, serving as a launchpad for players aspiring to play professionally or continue their careers at the highest collegiate levels. For players, this league offers:
