Borne out of a lifelong connection to soccer that began in Nigeria where the game was accessible and communal. This love for the game continued into college and post-grad. What started as informal weekly park games in Philadelphia grew into multiple churches from different communities meeting up to pray for each other, pray for the city, and play soccer.

“What inspires me is the desire to connect Philadelphia's residents through sports, fellowship, and friendly competition. Sports provide a unique space for relationship building, teamwork, and community in a time when the lack of friendships and the loneliness epidemic are blossoming. Finding spaces for healthy adult movement can also be expensive, and not readily accessible”- Kike Olayinka
