Overview of San Francisco Glens Soccer Club
The San Francisco Glens are the largest and most diverse soccer club in The City. Founded in 1961, the Glens have established men’s and women’s teams in USL League Two and the USL W League, a comprehensive youth academy with nearly 90 teams that includes all age groups in the top youth league in America—MLS NEXT, right down to local micro soccer programs serving kids as young as Pre-K. Last year, the club announced the construction of a soccer-specific stadium that will meet professional requirements at Treasure Island with a targeted completion date by Spring 2024.
As a community-focused 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Glens are proud to have never turned away a single player or family due to financial hardship thanks to internal fundraising efforts and a scholarship program that distributed over $250,000 last year alone. Visit us at
