With the 2024-25 MLS NEXT Season approaching, USSoccerCollective.com has released its MLS Academy rankings. For the second consecutive year, Philadelphia Union has been ranked at the top.
The Union's talent pool received an A+ rating for the second year in a row, one of only two clubs to achieve such marks in any category. Additionally, the Union excelled in their "Pathway To The Pros" player development platform, with seven players signing with the organization in the past 12 months.
"Developmentally they continue to show that they can prepare their players for the subsequent level," Marcus Chai wrote. "I see consistent growth from players year to year and they have done as good of a job as any MLS club exporting talent to Europe. They seem to have a logical approach to promoting players through the pathway and they have used MLS Next Pro well to test their young players."
