What is a local player?

A domestic player is an academy player who has been awarded a contract with the first team, and who is required to have spent at least one year in the club’s academy, and to live on the club’s territory.

Major League Soccer (MLS) established the domestic player base in 2008.

Prior to the rule, young players will be recruited through one of the pooled assignments such as MLS SuperDraft.

Between June 2020 and the start of the 2021 season, a total of 33 domestic players were signed to the first team rosters.
