BLACK STAR INITIATIVE
SOCCER FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY
Black Star Initiative is a platform developed to help accelerate the growth and popularity of soccer in Black American communities. The initiative is focused on increasing access and opportunity in the sport at the grassroots level, while celebrating and amplifying the diversity of Black soccer culture. Recognizing the Black community's unique needs and the factors that have contributed to the underrepresentation of Black people in soccer, our initiative is designed to:
-
Increase access and participation
-
Address systemic racism in the sport
-
Facilitate educational and professional pathways
-
Increase awareness and credibility of soccer amongst the Black community
