Sporting Nebraska FC is proud to announce our U13-U19 SOFC Elite boy's teams will join the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) beginning in the fall of 2021. We are honored to be selected as one of the founding seven teams in the Heartland Conference league.

“Sporting Nebraska's acceptance into the national tier of the ECNL is an exciting and unique opportunity for our boys’ program. The ECNL provides a critical piece of player development, identification, and exposure on a national platform that has been missing for male players in our community. The ECNL’s premier level of competition and showcase opportunities offer exclusive access for our players that aspire to play at the highest level.” - Ryan Kruse, Sporting Nebraska's Boys’ Director of Coaching.

The Boys Elite Clubs National League (Boys ECNL) was founded to improve the daily environment for boys youth soccer players through a collaborative club-based development program featuring competition, player identification, and coaching and club development platforms. The Boys ECNL will include both regular season conference games and cross-conference events, and qualifying teams from the Boys ECNL will advance to the post-season Elite National Premier League (ENPL) Playoffs.

With our boys' and girls' programs competing in ECNL on both the National and Regional levels our players will be exposed to the highest level of competition in the country. We look forward to what the future holds!
