Evaluating youth participation in soccer

I'm noticing that while youth participation is high, there's limited conversion to pro viewership in soccer. It seems there are factors like MLS salary caps, DP limits, and travel distances affecting this. Exciting events like co-hosting the 2026 World Cup and new soccer-specific stadiums could boost interest.

But what might shift the status? Sustained star player influx, better media coverage, and success of USMNT could help. I should be careful with numbers but can offer recent data points. I'll ask the user what angle they want to explore—data, culture, or future outlook!
