The National Soccer Hall of Fame released its annual list of eligible names for selection to the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2021.
Several names on the various lists have ties to Real Salt Lake including Javier Morales, Jeff Cunningham, Chris Klein and Pablo Mastroeni.
The Hall of Fame also released the new Selection Committee, which was established as part of 2020 election revisions, for the first time. The committees begin deliberations this week to select a three- or four-member Class of 2021 from the 245 candidates who appear on the Player, Veteran and Builder ballots.
The 2021 Hall of Fame ceremony is scheduled for May 22 and will enshrine both the 2020 class (Carlos Bocanegra and Colin Jose Media Award Winner Andrés Cantor) and the 2021 class.
