One of our favorite things about soccer is how it connects people from all walks of life in a fun and meaningful way. It’s not just a game – it’s the world’s game; it’s our game. Whether you’re a player, a coach, a parent, or a fan, we all have a connection to the game and we all have a story to tell.
To help celebrate our 20th anniversary, we’re sharing 20 of our favorite soccer stories from 20 individuals who have made a significant impact on the game or who have been impacted by the game in a positive way. Some of these individuals – like Grant Wahl and Cobi Jones –have an obvious connection to the game; others – like Shellie Pfohl of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition – may be a bit surprising, but together, they show the universal nature of the beautiful game and capture our shared love and respect for the sport.
See all of the stories and catch-up with the 20th anniversary team on the Our Game. Our Stories. page of our 20th anniversary website. Don’t’ forget to check back each week for the latest story!
Together, We Are Soccer.
