Georgia Soccer wants (needs!) your signature

The U.S. Soccer Federation is making its final rounds this fall before narrowing down the list of venue finalists for its 2018/2022 World Cup bid early next year.

Those lucky cities that move on will have shown significant local support for their city. And like any good bidding effort, signatures are required, with 50,000 the ideal threshold for this particular event.

The folks over at Georgia Soccer, an integral part of the Atlanta venue committee, have a way to make it very easy for you to do this online.

So if you haven’t been able to sign a petition at a local soccer event, take a few minutes now and type in your name in support of Atlanta’s bid.

The U.S. chances for landing the World Cup might have improved greatly when Mexico withdrew its bid and promised to lend support to the American effort.
