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.
-
1
Register
Players from any club, city, or state fill out the registration form. Boys and girls register on separate forms. There is no cost to register and no cost to play.
-
2
Selection
From more than 1,000 registrations, approximately 250 players are selected and placed into age groups by birth year.
-

Showcase day November 3
Each selected player plays two 30-minute games, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with scouts from MLS and Liga MX academies watching from the sideline.
-
4
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 official $60 kit: two commemorative shirts they wear in the games and keep afterward.
A free event. Two shirts.
There is no fee to participate in the scouting event, no showcase fee, and no fee to be evaluated by scouts. We do not sell opportunities.

Official event kit $60
Once a player is officially selected, they purchase the commemorative United For The Game kit: two official shirts designed for this edition.
The shirts are worn during the event, and afterward each player keeps them as a memory of their participation.
The kit is purchased only after selection. Completing that purchase confirms and secures the player’s spot in the event.
The two shirts
Every selected player wears one in each game and takes both home.

The $60 is not the cost of the scouting event, the opportunity, the selection process, or being evaluated by scouts. It applies exclusively to the two shirts.
No opportunity should be bought.

Girls born 2012 to 2014: registration is open
For the first time, girls are part of United For The Game. On Wednesday, November 4, players born in 2012, 2013, and 2014 will be seen by scouts from El Camino, the Mexican Football Federation’s identification program for Mexican-American players. It is free, it does not matter what club you play for, and it is a separate registration from the boys’ form.
Register a girl (2012–2014)The organizers say this is only the first girls’ age group, with more categories to come.
Questions
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 be evaluated, nothing to play. If you are selected, you buy the official $60 kit, which is two commemorative shirts you wear in your games and keep. That purchase confirms your spot, and it is the only cost.
Who can register?
Boys born between 2006 and 2016, and girls born in 2012, 2013, or 2014. Any club, city, or state. You do not need to be on a specific team to apply. Boys and girls use separate registration forms.
Does registering mean I’m in?
Not yet. Registering puts your name in front of the organizers, who review every player and choose roughly 250 out of more than 1,000. If you are selected, you will hear from us 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.
