Soccer Without Borders Invites You To...
Support Girls Soccer In Argentina!
In one of the largest shantytowns of Argentina, Soccer Without Borders supports a soccer team that focuses on teaching girls self-confidence and teamwork. Our coaching staff holds bi-weekly soccer practices with the 20 girls who range in age from 10 to 16 years old. In 2009, one of the girls from our team qualified to be part of a World Cup for youth living in poverty, and she was the only girl selected to be on Argentina’s youth team.
