Soccer has a unique ability to unite people from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, gender, culture, or nationality. It’s the only sport played by almost every nation on earth.
Soccer has also helped society progress socially. It has taught us about gender pay equity, unified people divided over race, and raised visibility for transgender athletes.
Soccer is a team sport that helps foster a sense of connection and belonging. Everyone contributes something when they gather for a soccer game, from the players to the coaches to the spectators. Everyone gets something out of the gathering, too: exercise, victory, practice, entertainment, friendship.
Soccer is a global movement that brings people together to celebrate the beautiful game. It represents the commitment of those who live football to shape our communities and society.
