ECNL Boys League
In 2025 Eugene Metro FC was promoted from the ECNL boys Regional League to the ECNL league. The Elite Club National League boys is the leading youth development platform for the top boys soccer players in the United States. The ECNL Boys was formed to improve the daily environment for boys youth soccer players through a collaborative club-based development program featuring competition, player identification, and coaching and club development platforms.
The Far West League will allow us the opportunity to expand our competition schedule in a way that will not disrupt our club calendars and will allow our High School age athletes to compete with their High School teams uninterrupted.
