U.S. men’s national team stalwart and recent Houston Dynamo left back DaMarcus Beasley is now a member of the Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame.
“Run DMB,” who’s from Fort Wayne, Ind., was announced as an inductee for the Class of 2018 earlier this week.
It is truly a honor to be inducted into the Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame. On behalf of myself and my family, I want to say thank you to everyone who voted and has appreciated my career on and off the soccer field(thus far) I love my city, I love where I’m from. Thank you Indiana!

Beasley began his professional career with the Chicago Fire from 2000-04 before joining PSV Eindhoven. He was later loaned to Manchester City, and also suited up for the Glasgow Rangers, Hannover 96 and Puebla. The veteran wingback returned to MLS in 2014 to play in Houston, where he remained a regular through the end of the 2017 season. Beasley is currently out of contract with the Dynamo, however.
His impressive longevity has seen him partake in four World Cups for the USMNT: 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014. Along the way he’s amassed 126 caps.
Beasley’s importance to U.S. Soccer as a whole is immeasurable, let alone the impact he’s had in his home state. Congrats, DaMarcus!
