The U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) National Council, during their Annual General Meeting, recently made a historic decision. For the first time ever, the position of USSF president will now be a paid role. This change was implemented with the passing of Bylaw 401 Section 1C, which states that the USSF president will receive an annual stipend of $150,000.
The vote in favor of this bylaw change was supported by an overwhelming majority of 80.88% of the weighted vote. This surpassed the two-thirds majority threshold required for passage. It is worth noting that a similar measure was narrowly defeated at last year's AGM.
