Scoring Big for Iowa’s Future

We’re helping Iowa shine on the national stage as both a premier soccer destination and a thriving community.

Our Mission

The Iowa Soccer Development Foundation was created in 2019 to lead the transformation of Iowa’s sports and entertainment landscape by developing a state-of-the-art stadium and multiuse plaza in downtown Des Moines — revitalizing a 38-acre federally designated Superfund site and creating an economic and cultural hub for all Iowans.

Our Mission & Vision

Why Soccer?

Soccer is the world’s most popular sport with over 5 billion* fans

and a rapidly growing footprint in the U.S., making it a smart economic investment for Iowa. Professional soccer taps into a massive, multicultural fan base and offers year-round entertainment that attracts families, young professionals and tourists alike.
