FRISCO, TEXAS — The National Soccer Hall of Fame has released the names of the builder ballot semifinalists for the Class of 2021.
The builder ballot is the path to the Hall of Fame for coaches, referees and contributors that have made their primary contribution to the game in a non-playing capacity.
The finalists for all three ballots – player, veteran and builder – will be announced after the conclusion of the screening process in early February.
The 25 builder semifinalists were selected by the nine-person builder screening committee. The next step in the Builder election will be for the screening committee to narrow the field to 10 finalists. The 24-person builder voting committee will vote on the 10 finalists to determine which builder, if any, are elected.
