WFC U14-19 Boys and Girls Fall Informational Sheet

What will it cost to play for WFC in the fall?

Players will order the new uniforms directly from the WFC’s page on Eurosport/Soccer.com through the “Player Pass” program. Once you are registered and put on a team, your coach or team manager will provide you with your player number and put into the WFC soccer.com system. Soccer.com will send an email to you with a direct link to order your uniform.
Required uniform items for each player includes: 2 jerseys (one navy, one silver), 1 navy shorts, and 1 set of socks (shown below) $64.38 (youth sizes) and $68.93 (adult sizes).

Practice dri-fit T-shirts (grey, navy or yellow with logo,) are also available to purchase on our uniform site under optional items. Any items a player purchases on the SOCCER.COM site still earns the player Goal Club Points and also give the club the same Goal Club Points!
