“We were all crying on the way to the stadium just overcome with: ‘Wow, look where we are now.’”
I spoke to @Kate_Ward2 and @Reign4Days about the @ussoccer_ENT Women’s Deaf National team’s journey to their first televised game for @guardian_sport.

"A space that was designed and made for me."
I spent ~4 days with the undefeated U.S. Deaf Women's National Team. Sports teams talk about being "families" but that means more here. This is where players discovered themselves. They hope to inspire others.

The US Women's Deaf National Team have quite literally never lost a game. But that's not really the point...
An attempt to tell a pretty amazing story, for @goal

It’s not insignificant that U.S. Soccer has chosen to highlight the various national teams they field in this kit launch. It’s subtle but goes a long way. The ENTs have as much pride as anyone when they wear the crest. Truly great to see them represented here 🇺🇸
To represent the U.S. in international competition is the highest honor that an American player can achieve. Deaf WNT’s Kate Ward, CP MNT’s Ben Lindau, and Beach WNT’s Ali Hall chatted with Oguchi Onyewu about what it takes and what it means to wear the crest.
"As a group of typically underrepresented members of the soccer community, those of us with disabilities, I feel that we are in a unique position to be leaders."
