'''Generation Adidas''' is a [[joint venture]] between [[Major League Soccer]] and [[United States Soccer Federation|U.S. Soccer]] aimed at raising the level of young professional [[association football|soccer]] talent in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.com/story/354854/us-u-20-players-headline-2006-class|title=U.S. U-20 players headline 2006 class|website=ESPNFC.com}}</ref> The program, sponsored by [[Adidas]], offers professional-ready players in the U.S. developmental system not yet eligible for the [[MLS SuperDraft]] early entry, allowing MLS to compete with foreign professional clubs without comparable restrictions on player signing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ussoccerplayers.com/2010/01/mccabe-explains-generation-adidas.html|title=McCabe Explains Generation adidas|website=US Soccer Players}}{{Dead link|date=August 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> From its establishment in 1997 to 2005, the program was sponsored by [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] and was called ''Project-40''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ussoccerplayers.com/resource_center/soccer_history/447766.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20041205051058/http://www.ussoccerplayers.com/resource_center/soccer_history/447766.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 5, 2004|title=US Soccer Players|website=ussoccerplayers.com|access-date=January 29, 2007}}</ref>  Originally intended to improve the U.S. national team player pool, American national team eligibility is no longer required for program entry.

[[Carlos Parra (soccer, born 1977)|Carlos Parra]] was the first Project-40 player when he signed with the league and was allocated to the [[New York Red Bulls|New York/New Jersey MetroStars]] in 1997. Since then, the program has included players such as [[Tim Howard]], [[DaMarcus Beasley]], [[Maurice Edu]], [[Carlos Bocanegra]], [[Clint Dempsey]], [[Jozy Altidore]], [[Ben Olsen]], [[Sacha Kljestan]], [[Freddy Adu]], [[Brad Guzan]], [[Michael Bradley (soccer)|Michael Bradley]], [[Nick Rimando]], [[Kyle Beckerman]], and NFL kicker [[Josh Lambo]].

Generation Adidas players do not count against the MLS senior roster and usually earn a much higher salary than the league minimum.<ref>{{cite news |last=Palmer |first=Tod |date=May 16, 2014 |title=Generation adidas program has been beneficial to Sporting KC |url=https://www.kansascity.com/sports/soccer/sporting-kc/article316046.html |work=[[Kansas City Star]] |accessdate=December 19, 2023}}</ref> Entering into the program automatically classifies a player as [[professional]], and thus disqualifies them from playing college soccer. As a result, Generation Adidas players are also guaranteed scholarships to continue their college education should they end their professional career early.<ref>{{cite news |last=Galarcep |first=Ives |date=December 10, 2008 |title=The Generation adidas targets |url=https://sbisoccer.com/2008/12/the-generation-adidas-targets |work=Soccer By Ives |accessdate=December 19, 2023}}</ref>

From 1998 to 2000, MLS entered a team of Project-40 players, supplemented by other MLS players who did not get much playing time, into the [[USL First Division|A-League]] in the [[United Soccer Leagues|USL]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Firchau |first=Nick |date=April 2, 2020 |title=Project-40: The story of the original MLS youth super team |url=https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/04/02/mls-project-40 |work=MLSsoccer.com |access-date=April 19, 2020}}</ref>

In 2017, MLS introduced Canadian Generation Adidas players, part of a new initiative with the [[Canadian Soccer Association]]. Canadian Generation Adidas players count as domestic players on US based MLS teams.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/01/04/mls-announces-2017-generation-adidas-class-and-senior-signings| title = MLS announces 2017 Generation adidas class and senior signings |work=MLSSoccer.com}}</ref>
