Where on the ladder
Level 3 to Level 6
Each level below lists the leagues this club plays in. Your kid's level depends on the team they make. The six levels are our own reading of public league play. They are not an official ranking.
Sanctioned by Oregon Youth Soccer Association (US Youth Soccer). The club’s site also lists US Club Soccer. We have not confirmed that from the body’s own member list, so we do not call the club sanctioned. It also lists Pre-ECNL RL, ECNL Regional League Girls - Far West. We have not placed those leagues on the ladder, so they do not count above.

Portland City United Soccer Club, every team.
Last season Portland City United Soccer Club fielded 18 teams in the leagues we track: 10 boys and 8 girls, from national elite down to competitive regional. The ladder tops out in Pre-ECNL from U11 up.

Each dot is one team in the 2026-27 season. We place it by the league the team actually plays in, not by the club’s own team names. A tap on a dot shows that team’s league, flight and record. The dots come from published league tables, so a team playing outside those leagues will not appear here.
Check the tables yourself
The link opens the event's flight list on Total Global Sports, where the ECNL family posts its tables. Your kid's birth year is one of the rows, and the Standings link beside the flight opens the table. Each season gets a new event page, so theecnl.com is the place to pick up a later one.

College & pro pathway
Where the players went next.
We counted these from league records and player pages, not from the club’s own claims.
We found no college commitment from this club in public trackers, league records, the club’s own lists, or the 2,244 college rosters we hold. A player can still be missed. This is what the public record shows, not proof that nobody went.
Turned pro out of this club
The counts come from public commitment trackers, club lists, league records, player pages, and the rosters of 2,244 NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA programs. One player counts once per school. “Division unverified” means we matched the school but could not confirm the program level. We never print a current youth player’s name.
