Tormenta pulls the plug on 2026- What is US Soccer doing

As reported by our Alex Ashton, Tormenta FC which has been one of the strongest USL clubs at developing players and selling them upwards over the course of the last decade will not field a professional men’s team in 2026.

There is plenty of culpability in all of this with USL as we have talked about the last few days in some of the articles I’ve written, and we will return to that as a theme in the near future.
