Congressional Soccer Caucus
 |
As part of the Foundation's ongoing efforts in Washington, DC, we have joined a bipartisan group of Members of Congress in an ambitious effort to establish a Congressional Soccer Caucus. |
What is the Congressional Soccer Caucus?
Its mission is to encourage legislation, activities and events that promote soccer and issues affecting the greater soccer community with our elected officials. These include: the increasing demand for playing fields as well as support for the use of soccer as a vehicle for building communities, developing healthy lifestyles in children and cultivating leadership and teamwork skills. The U.S. Soccer Foundation serves as the public advocacy arm for the game and provides information and support for the Caucus as is requested.
