In 2026 Eugene Metro FC joined a collaborative effort designed as a pathway to ECNL Girls opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. Seven founding member clubs have come together with a shared vision expanding the pathway for elite female players in our region providing players access to a nationally recognized platform for competition and development.
