Visa, Street Soccer USA and Bank of America Join Forces to Expand Access to Soccer in Communities Across the United States
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At a ribbon-cutting event in San Francisco, Visa, Street Soccer USA (SSUSA) and Bank of America announced today an initiative to expand access to soccer across the United States. Harnessing the unifying power of soccer, the companies will provide open park space in six cities to bring people together, foster youth development, and strengthen community ties through sport and purpose-driven programming. 'This movement is about scale, sustainability, and impact,' said Lawrence Cann, Co-Founder and President of Street Soccer USA. 'Alongside our partners, we are making a significant pass toward building a national network of parks that deliver real value—on and off the field. These are spaces where young people can grow, communities can connect, and every victory, big or small, can lead to meaningful change.' Visa Street Soccer Parks, the first of which opened today in San Francisco, are intentionally designed to be vibrant centers for community engagement, offering more than just a space for soccer. Each park will feature two professional-grade Bank of America fields, providing facilities with lighting for evening activities, digital scoreboards, learning centers and seating areas for spectators and special events. Park locations and projected opening: San Francisco – Opened June 2025 Denver – August 2025 Kansas City – September 2025 New York City – October 2025 Nashville – November 2025 Atlanta – Winter 2025 As momentum builds ahead of one of the biggest landmark years for soccer in U.S. history, these parks will provide a local platform for community connection, growth, and opportunity – into 2026 and beyond. 'Through this partnership, we're creating more than soccer parks—we're building platforms for progress,' said Kim Lawrence, President, North America, Visa. 'Each park represents a step toward stronger, more connected communities. By combining the power of sports with access to education and opportunity, we're helping individuals and families move forward—one goal, one lesson, and one connection at a time.' 'Sports bring communities together, and over the next few years, the entire world will come together for soccer in North America,' said David Tyrie, President, Marketing, Digital and Specialized Consumer Client Solutions at Bank of America. 'These fields will provide high-quality spaces where the lessons of soccer – teamwork, goal-setting, preparation and determination – come to life for the next generation.' Each park will serve as a local hub for sport, learning, and engagement, offering year-round activities that include youth and adult leagues, after-school academic support, job readiness training, and more. Collectively, the parks represent more than a place to play—they're a growing network of opportunity, built to connect communities and unite them through the game that brings the world together.
