Not a tournament.
Not a camp.
United For The Game is a platform built to give talent a real chance to be seen. We received more than 1,000 registrations for this edition. Around 250 players will be selected to play in front of the scouts.
You can’t buy your way into the final. You can’t buy a scout’s interest. We create the stage. The players earn the opportunity.
An opportunity should not be sold.
How it works
Four steps, two days, one field. Every selected player gets two games in front of the scouts before anyone advances.

The finals November 4
The scouts pick 24 players from each age group to return for a final match. The finalists are coached directly by the scouts themselves. Goalkeepers get their own session: the GK War.
What we promise, and what we don’t
- Scouts are on the field. Representatives from MLS and Liga MX academies watch the games directly.
- Each club evaluates on its own. If a player stands out, the next step might be a conversation, a training invitation, a tryout, or another process. That is between the club and the family.
- We do not promise contracts or academy spots. What we guarantee is a high-level environment seen by real talent ID professionals.
- The event has no participation cost. Selected players purchase only the two official event jerseys they will wear in the games.

Is United For The Game legit?
Yes. This is the third edition. Ten MLS and Liga MX academies have confirmed for November 2026, and players from past editions have gone on to academy rosters. Everything we announce is posted publicly on Instagram.
How much does it cost?
Nothing to register, nothing to play. If you are selected, you buy the two official event jerseys you will wear in your games. That is the only cost.
Who can register?
Boys and girls born between 2006 and 2016, from any club, city, or state. You do not need to be on a specific team to apply.
Does registering mean I’m in?
No. Registration is the application. Roughly 250 of more than 1,000 applicants are selected. Selected players are contacted directly.
Will I get signed if I play well?
We don’t promise that, and no one honest can. Each club makes its own evaluation and its own decision. What you get is two games, and possibly a final, in front of people whose job is to find players.
Earn it on the field.
