The Atlanta United Foundation and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation have announced a joint venture to build up to 100 mini-pitches across the state of Georgia before the 2026 World Cup. The GA 100 Campaign will be run by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation with the initial backing of a $1.5 million grant from the Atlanta United Foundation to build the first 20 of these new pitches.
“One of the main goals of the Atlanta United Foundation is to bring soccer to communities that have no access to the sport,” said Rodrigo Rios, Atlanta United Academy Coach and Associate Committee Member, The Atlanta United Foundation.
