All Nations Soccer – Raleigh–Durham
A local expression of All Nations Soccer, bringing together players from many nations each week through competition, community, and the message of the gospel.
How it Started
All Nations Soccer in Raleigh–Durham began with a desire to live and serve in a place where people from many nations are already present.
After considering overseas missions, we realized we were drawn to a context where we could engage people from different backgrounds together as a family.
Through a connection with All Nations Soccer in Jacksonville, Florida—and after seeing it in action—we began exploring what it could look like to start something similar in Raleigh–Durham.
What started as a small group of volunteers and weekly pickup games grew over several months before launching as an official league in Spring 2024.
Today, All Nations Soccer in Raleigh–Durham gathers players from many nations each week for competitive matches and something more beyond the game.
Each game day includes organized matches, followed by a shared meal, a short message from the Bible, and time for conversation.
Local churches serve by providing meals and building relationships with players, while team leaders invest in their teams throughout the season.
