## Resource

In the U.S., youth soccer’s high cost is pushing talented kids from low-income families out of the game — but Little Haiti F.C. in Miami is changing that by offering free, top-tier soccer, funded by grants and sponsors, and gaining national support even from FIFA’s top brass. Parents like single mom Paula Caicedo struggle to afford these programs, but Little Haiti proves financial barriers don’t have to define a child’s access to the sport. Meanwhile, U.S. Soccer Foundation is installing mini-pitches in underserved neighborhoods to bring the game to more kids — even if critics say they don’t match full fields, the goal is global accessibility. While these efforts are vital steps toward equity, some worry the sport’s inherent exclusivity still limits elite talent development — but with World Cup momentum, the hope is that soccer in America becomes more diverse, inclusive, and truly for everyone.
