United Premier Soccer League Announces Partnership with Go4 to Provide Certified Athletic Trainers Across League Matches

Industry-leading sports medicine staffing platform joins the UPSL family, strengthening player and referee health and safety standards across the league.

The United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) today announced a new partnership with Go4.io, the nation’s leading platform for connecting sports organizations with on-demand certified athletic trainers. The agreement will help UPSL-affiliated matches, tournaments and events across the country to be  supported by qualified, insured, and credentialed athletic trainers, reinforcing the league’s commitment to player and referee health and safety at every level.

“The UPSL takes the health and safety of our players, referees, coaches, and staff as a matter of utmost importance”

“The UPSL takes the health and safety of our players, referees, coaches, and staff as a matter of utmost importance,” said Nick Webster, Executive Vice President, UPSL. “Having a certified athletic trainer at our matches ensures that everyone on the field, on the sideline, and in our stadiums has access to the best available care. Go4.io is trusted by schools, sports facilities, club teams, and tournament operators nationwide, and we are delighted to welcome them to the UPSL family. This partnership reflects our continued investment in the standards, culture, and infrastructure that make the UPSL the most ambitious and fastest-growing soccer league in the country.”

Through the partnership, UPSL clubs and conference operators will have access to Go4.io’s network of thousands of certified athletic trainers nationwide. Every AT on the platform is privately insured, carries their state credentials and national athletic training certification, and operates under HIPAA-compliant electronic injury reporting standards. When a UPSL match is posted on the platform, an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is automatically generated for the venue, helping ensure every event is fully prepared in the event of an incident.

“At Go4, we believe every athlete deserves access to that standard of care, and UPSL’s commitment to placing a certified athletic trainer at every match reflects exactly that. “

“At Go4, we believe every athlete deserves access to that standard of care, and UPSL’s commitment to placing a certified athletic trainer at every match reflects exactly that. Go4 is the only national solution built specifically for this mission, with the largest network of credentialed athletic trainers in the country ready to provide care for all of the UPSL’s leagues, clubs, and events nationwide,” remarked Go4’s Chief Medical Officer, Ellis Mair, on the partnership. 

Go4.io is the only nationwide marketplace dedicated to staffing certified athletic trainers (ATs) for games, practices, camps, clinics, and tournaments. The platform is trusted by schools, sports facilities, club teams, and tournament operators across the United States, and powers staffing for organizations including Pop Warner Football, US Club Soccer, USA Field Hockey, and many more.

The Go4.io partnership joins a growing roster of UPSL initiatives focused on strengthening the league’s operational backbone, from referee development and academy pathways to commercial expansion and club infrastructure. To kick off the partnership, Go4.io sponsored the UPSL Women’s National Championship, and UPSL Men’s National Finals held earlier this summer.
