Review of Building Community Through Soccer

The piece is able to convey in less than 5 minutes that the love of soccer for this community goes beyond simply playing the game. For them, it's creating a home away from home and rejuvenating the mind and body after extreme hardship during the week. The league brings together people from far away cities and towns with soccer as their common language and culture.
