Soccer is a global pathway. For millions of urban youth across the United States, access to structured sports programs, coaching, and exposure remains limited due to a lack of resources.

The Gumball CARES Partnership, and mini soccer pitch activation: “Road to the World Cup” is designed to change that. Through our partnership with the Gumball 3000 Foundation, this initiative activates high-impact soccer programs in underserved communities in Texas, and North America creating access, building discipline, and opening pathways to opportunity both on and off the field.

We focus on:

– Urban youth engagement through organized soccer activations

– Access to training, coaching, and competitive play

– Talent identification and development pathways

– Life skills, mentorship, and character development

– Exposure to national and global soccer opportunities

This program uses the passion and unifying global power of soccer to create structure, purpose, and upward mobility.

We are building the next generation of young players, leaders, and role models starting at the community level and scaling toward global opportunity.
