Racism has long been an issue in soccer and society. A group of teams, supporters, and organizations are looking to take action to finally address this systemic problem. Today, The Sanneh Foundation, the Chicago Fire, Angel City FC, Oakland Roots, and the American Outlaws announced their partnership with Common Goal, a global social impact collective, for a new initiative, the Anti-Racist Project.
Its goal is to implement a program for teams, fans, and leagues to provide anti-racist training to 5,000 coaches, 60,000 young people, and 115 staff in over 400 communities in the first year.
