Who We Are
Welcome to All Nations Soccer League (ANSL) – a diverse community that originated from a Burmese refugee soccer team in Jacksonville, FL, in 2017. What began as a message of hope and faith has now grown to a league over 2000 players from 100+ nations. ANSL launched its second location in Raleigh Durham in March 2024 with an adult’s men league with over 50 players from 25+ nations.
Our Mission
Our mission is to use soccer as a catalyst for restoring, unifying, and empowering people of all nations in our community. We aim to create a thriving environment where relationships with Jesus and each other flourish.
Our Vision
ANSL embraces players of all beliefs and backgrounds, offering a safe space to explore faith in God while fostering community through soccer. Our goals include helping refugees discover Jesus, aiding in their restoration, promoting unity, mobilizing local missions, raising awareness for refugee aid, and creating opportunities for employment.
Our Values
To restore refugees from the devastation and loss they came from and help them thrive in creating a new life and to restore people of all nations in their relationship with God.
To unify refugees with people of all nations in our city by using the game of soccer and the love of Jesus to breakdown racial hostility and forge healthy community.
To empower refugees and people of all nations with the character and values to thrive in their families and workplaces, positively impact our community and help raise up the next generation.
Why Soccer?
Soccer is more than a game—it's a global language, connecting 4 billion players worldwide. ANSL leverages soccer's unifying power to break down cultural barriers, foster friendships, and integrate refugees into our community. Through spring and fall seasons, we partner with churches, businesses, and charities to bridge relationships with people from all nations.
