The first female President of U.S. Soccer, Cindy Parlow Cone was re-elected to a four-year term on March 5, 2022, and is currently one of only seven female Federation presidents across FIFA’s 211 member associations.
While leading the Federation through the COVID-19 global pandemic, Cone’s priorities focused on improving U.S. Soccer’s efforts to take meaningful action in the diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging space, bringing commercial rights back in house, team building, and leading efforts to grow the game in all its forms.
Cone was a star for the U.S. Women’s National Team during a career that spanned 1996-2004, earning 158 caps while scoring 75 goals. During her career she was a two-time Olympic gold medal winner and a member of the historic 1999 Women’s World Cup winning side. She is also a title-winning coach at the grassroots, collegiate and professional levels and holds a USSF “A” coaching license.
