U.S. National Soccer Team Players Association

The U.S. National Soccer Team Players Association (USNSTPA) is the players union for the members of the United States men's national soccer team.

[1] The two sides continued negotiations throughout the summer and into the fall of 2005, before finally reaching a deal in November 2005.

That deal was approved by both parties in early December, running through 2010 and assuring that labor issues would not threaten World Cup participation.

The U.S. National Soccer Team Players Association is governed by a five-player board of representatives elected annually, and run by an executive director.

Aside from negotiating for the players, the USNSTPA owns USSoccerPlayers.com a large soccer-specific website.
