The Foundation is in the process of raising money to establish the very first “International Soccer Fields of Peace” in the State of Ohio, near the border of both West Virginia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Located in a strategic area of the United States, just hours from other major areas such as New York City, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, the Eastern Ohio / Pittsburgh, PA Metroplex has long served as a feeder for young soccer players to the collegiate system. The area is rife with youth clubs and teams. The International Soccer Fields of Peace would be used to host summer and winter tournaments, as well as to stage clinics and academies that spread the message of peace through soccer. These will become the very first international soccer fields of peace that are dedicated exclusively to spreading peace through soccer.
