Kyle Martino

Kyle Martino was an All-American player at the University of Virginia, named the 1999 Gatorade National Player Of The Year. An eighth overall pick in the 2002 MLS draft, I spent seven seasons playing for both the Columbus Crew and L.A. Galaxy. During my first season, Martino was named the MLS Rookie of the Year. 

After his playing career came to an end, he transitioned into TV, and worked for NBC Sports, providing studio analysis and color commentary on the English Premier League. I've also appeared on CBS Sports, ESPN, Fox Soccer Channel, HDNet and WPVI-TV, Travel Channel's "36 Hours" and NBC's "Spartan Race." In 2018 he created a progress plan and ran for U.S. Soccer President, finishing as a runner-up. However, the promises that were made throughout his campaign live on. Martino has gone on to create No One Home, Street FC, Goalpher, & Over Under Initiative to eliminate the friction between the game and those who love it. Transparency, equity, and progress were the pillars of my campaign, and now they are the of my companies. There is nothing I want more than soccer in the United States to thrive, and American Football Company can help this happen
