WELCOME TO ATL



Atlanta is globally influential; our rich past has influenced our culture and we
wear it with pride.

Atlanta is southern hospitality meets culture, a place where movements are
sparked.

We’ve staked our claim as the soccer city of the South. The 17s built it, now
it’s time to show the world.

Like André said, “The South got something to say.”

The FIFA World Cup 26™ is here, and it’s spelled A-T-L.

Soccer in the Streets:

Since the early 2000s, Soccer in the Streets has been focusing its efforts on
low-income communities in Atlanta, GA.  Today, SITS develops young leaders so
they can lead rich lives and cultivate healthy communities through innovative
sports-based youth development programs. Soccer in the Streets launched the
award-winning initiative StationSoccer, the world’s first network of soccer
fields located at major transit stations. StationSoccer has become a blueprint
in Atlanta for addressing accessibility – both to fields and adequate
transportation – by connecting soccer facilities at and through public transit.
Like in years past, Soccer in the Streets is leading the way with ideas and
solutions that reach kids who are often overlooked or under-resourced and kids
are even growing things in community gardens through the Garden FC program.
Today, Soccer in the Streets has come full circle and could roll out its model
in more U.S. cities and connect the youth of America to the beautiful game of
soccer.
