SSL Hall of Fame

The Simulation Soccer League Hall of Fame (HoF) was established in S27. The HoF is managed by the Hall of Fame Committee (HFC), which is led by the HoF Department Head.

Purpose Statement

“The SSL Hall of Fame’s purpose is to recognize the extraordinary achievements of individual players; this purpose may be expanded to provide recognition of league managers, and league builders (league employees). The Hall of Fame Committee curates and maintains an official process to fulfill those purposes. By extension, from these purposes are the underlying aspects that the Hall of Fame helps preserve the league’s history and inspire future players. Additionally, the league Hall of Fame process provides a framework for individual Organizations to develop their own Team Hall of Fames.”
