    STREET SOCCER USA: SOCCER WITH PURPOSE

    Street Soccer USA (SSUSA) is a premier social enterprise in the United States using sports to make

    measurable social change. Street Soccer USA uses the power of soccer to help homeless and at-risk

    youth, men and women dramatically transform their lives.

    The Street Soccer USA West Coast Cup, hosted in partnership with the SF Recreation & Parks

    Department and the Housing, Opportunity, Partnerships and Engagement Office of Mayor Lee,

    marked the first event on the West Coast for SSUSA. Over the course of 2 days, 490 players from 7

    cities competed, with more than 20,000 spectators attending the matches in Justin Herman Plaza in

    downtown San Francisco, California. Games were hosted on SSUSA custom built 4v4 courts and
