INDIANAPOLIS—USA of Indiana hosted 36 teams from across Indianapolis for the Indy International Soccer Cup Saturday in collaboration with Mayor Joe Hogsett and the Office of International and Latino Affairs.

Community members formed teams with neighbors, friends and strangers for this free-to-play friendly one-day tournament. The goal of the day, as it has been since the tournament's inaugural 2011 event, is to build upon and celebrate the diverse soccer community in Indianapolis. Youth sports are a powerful form of connection. They break down barriers and unite communities through a common love and appreciation for the game.

As with this tournament, USA of Indiana strives to eliminate as many barriers to soccer as possible, so that every child has the opportunity to play in a positive, safe and enriching environment.
