The six elected members
The National Soccer Hall of Fame announced its 2027 class on November 12: Jozy Altidore, David Beckham, Julie Johnston Ertz, Lothar Osiander, Megan Rapinoe and Tatu.
Altidore, Ertz and Rapinoe were elected through the Player Ballot in their first year of eligibility. Beckham and Tatu came through the Veteran Ballot; Osiander was selected through the Builder Ballot, which considered coaches for this class.
Election now, induction in April
The induction ceremony is scheduled for April 16, 2027, at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. The Hall describes it as private. The announcement therefore does not establish public ceremony tickets, a broadcast or a viewing time.
LA Galaxy separately confirmed the elections of Beckham and its first head coach, Osiander. Beckham helped the club win the 2011 and 2012 MLS Cups; Osiander led its inaugural 1996 team to the MLS Cup final. These honours concern their contributions to US soccer, rather than current playing or coaching appointments.
