    • These are the voting results for the National Soccer Hall of Fame 2009 induction class. Jeff Agoos and Joy Fawcett were selected for the Player category.
    The Hall of Fame inducts individuals in three categories: Player, Veteran, and Builder. The Hall of Fame also selects individuals for special awards including the Colin Jose Media Award, Eddie Pearson Award, and a Medal of Honor.


    Player


    To be eligible in this category, a player must have been retired at least three years and not more than ten. Voting began on November 3, 2008 and ended December 3, 2008. Any player who was named on at least 66.7% of the ballots cast was selected for induction. Any player who received less than 5% of the ballots was dropped from the Player eligibility list and will be placed on the Veteran eligibility list when they meet the criteria for that list.
    On January 16, 2009, the Hall of Fame announced the results of the Player ballot. The announcement came on live television, a first for the Hall of Fame, broadcast from the annual NSCAA convention in St. Louis, Missouri.
