U.S. Soccer laid off up to 30 employees on Tuesday in a major reorganization ahead of its relocation from Chicago to new headquarters in the Atlanta metro region.
The cuts were felt across the organization, including the marketing, sales, sporting, refereeing and coaching departments, according to multiple sources in the federation who spoke to The Athletic. U.S. Soccer currently employ around 340 people, meaning the cuts could equate to around nine per cent of its workforce.
