About The Heritage Project

The ECNL Heritage Project was created to help connect high-level players with foreign heritage to federations around the world for whom they are eligible to play, and to track the performance of ECNL athletes in youth and senior national teams in the US and across the world.  

The ECNL Heritage Project was founded in 2024 and since then has grown to include a database of thousands of players, created relationships with dozens of federations around the world, and helped create opportunities in national team camps and competitions for many players.

If you believe you have a player that fits the criteria of the Heritage Project please fill out The Heritage Project Interest form listed above.

If you have a player who has been called into a youth national team camp, please fill out the form below for our database.
