The project educates youth soccer coaches and empowers them and their players to build anti-racist team/club cultures to eradicate racism across the entire soccer landscape.
Switch the Pitch is the first program to emerge from the Anti-Racist Project, an impact initiative launched with @CommonGoalOrg.
Shout out to @chevrolet and @CedarsSinai for supporting the ARP, and a more inclusive global soccer community via the Copa Angelina sponsorship model.
I am grateful that I was able to take my mom to the @CopaAngelina game.
As a Mexican woman who made Los Ángeles her home 55 years ago she was pretty conflicted about who to cheer for.
I told her she didn’t have to choose.
The moment felt to special to care about a score.
History has been written here today in professional soccer. We have witnessed talent like never before between ACFC and MWNT. We are crowning @Miseleccionfem the winner of the inaugural Copa Angelina.
