Show Notes
Coppermine Soccer Club, based in Baltimore, has made a significant leap by joining MLS Next Homegrown, the premier youth development league in the US, and forming a global joint venture with Orlegi Sports. This partnership, rebranding the club as Coppermine Soccer, Powered by Orlegi Sports, opens opportunities for players aged from toddlers to under-nineteen to pursue higher competition and professional pathways. Orlegi, which owns professional clubs like Santos Laguna, Atlas FC, and Sporting de Gijon, brings international influence and a vast network to the club. While players and parents wont notice immediate changes, the club aims to enhance training, attract scout attention, and provide structured follow-ups. The club is investing $8 million in a soccer complex at Gibbons Field in South Baltimore and plans to increase its player base from around 1,600 to 5,000 in two to three years, without raising fees. Orlegi aims to expand in the US, particularly in the Baltimore-DC area, ahead of the 2026 World Cup, potentially offering assistance to families who cant afford the pay-to-play model.
