Atlanta, GA (May 9, 2024) - Inter Atlanta FC (IAFC) and Triumph Youth Soccer Association (TYSA) have announced a new partnership to enhance opportunities for players.

The partnership will create a pathway for Triumph’s boys youth players into Inter Atlanta’s U13-U19 leagues. Benefits to the pathway include movement of players within seasons and the ability for Triumph players to go on “trial” before tryouts begin.

“We develop our players to play in the highest level leagues and like us, Inter Atlanta has shown that they are committed to preparing players for college or professional programs. This alliance will allow us to provide a pathway for our players talented enough to play in MLS Next.” said Gareth O’Sullivan, Executive Director of Triumph.

Inter Atlanta FC, similar to Triumph, offers competitive play in the SCCL league. Two regional travel leagues are also offered at Inter Atlanta with the National Academy League (NAL) and MLS Next. Teams in the NAL Southeast conference are located in the Atlanta area, Birmingham, Charlotte and Raleigh. MLS Next is the premier league in the US, competing against MLS academy teams as well as teams in Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Hattiesburg, Charlotte and Raleigh.

“Partnering with Triumph expands opportunities for players and creates stronger teams in our footprint to compete on the regional and national stage. Both clubs have philosophies of developing players and we’re excited to bring these synergies together”, said Kevin Kinley, Executive Director of Inter Atlanta FC.

Inter Atlanta FC is the only intown soccer club, serving communities east of downtown Atlanta (Decatur, Kirkwood, Edgewood, Virginia Highlands, Morningside, Druid Hills, Grant Park and Avondale Estates). Triumph Youth Soccer Association serves Tucker, Decatur and surrounding areas.
