Jozy Altidore - Chief Strategy Officer & Co-Owner of @Sogility | @SogilityGO | Sports Investor

A new class of soccer ownership is emerging and Jozy Altidore is at the center of it.

In this episode of the One Soccer Nation Podcast, Kareem Rae sits down with the former U.S. Men’s National Team star turned investor, operator, and Chief Strategy Officer at Sogility to break down how modern soccer assets are being built and scaled.

This conversation goes beyond the typical athlete transition story. It explores how capital, infrastructure, and development are converging across the U.S. soccer landscape, particularly as the 2026 World Cup approaches.

From his role in the OKC USL Championship expansion project to building a technology-driven player development ecosystem, Jozy shares how he evaluates opportunities, backs teams, and identifies assets with long-term value.

The discussion also dives into:
• Mixed-use development as a revenue engine
• USL’s push toward promotion and relegation
• The evolution of U.S. soccer markets
• Data and technology in youth development
• How to build a scalable soccer ecosystem

This is a decision-grade conversation for investors, operators, and stakeholders looking to understand where the next wave of soccer opportunity is forming.
