The Soccer Unity Project

Next up in our Heart of Soccer Unity Project Series: Junior Coach Rayan Baana! ⚽💙

Rayan has been part of Soccer Unity Project as a Junior Coach since last summer, bringing kindness, positivity, and a deep love for soccer to the field.

As one of the youngest members of our workforce development program, Rayan has continued to grow into his role with patience and confidence. For him, coaching is rooted in the belief that growth matters more than performance. He brings that mindset to every on field session, showing up with a steady presence that helps players feel supported as they try new things and build confidence through the game.

Over the past year, Rayan has grown as a coach, leader, and role model both on and off the field. This summer, he will continue that journey as one of our youth leaders representing Soccer Unity Project at Festival 26!

Our grassroots players are in!

With one week until the first-ever World Football Giving Day, we’re excited to share that Boston University is generously helping us kick things off by matching the first $2,500 donated to Soccer Unity Project.

This spring, every one of our grassroots programs filled within 72 hours, and hundreds of kids who want to play are still left on waitlists. The demand is real, and with the World Cup coming to Boston, it will only continue to grow.

Every donation helps us meet that demand and create more free soccer opportunities for young people across Boston.

We’re in. Are you? ❤️
