Leagues in Arkansas

Soccer in Arkansas — common questions

How many soccer clubs are ranked in Arkansas?
24 rated clubs across 11 leagues — 16 men’s and 8 women’s. Unrated clubs are held and mapped but carry no number.
Which is the best soccer club in Arkansas?
University of Arkansas Razorbacks at 1691, playing in NCAA Division I Women's. "Best" here means highest rating on the Ranked XI national scale, not league position.
Are amateur and pro clubs really on the same scale?
Yes. Cross-league placement is calibrated on about 600 U.S. Open Cup results, the one competition where clubs from different tiers meet, so a strong amateur side can rate above a weak professional one.

Every Ranked XI rating labels its basis. Cross-league placement is calibrated on ~600 U.S. Open Cup results — how the ratings work.
