Who We Are
Our Story
For over 10 years, we have been serving the international community of Houston and beyond. Our heart is for those who have come to the United States because that is our own story.
Brothers Roman and Pavel, originally from Uzbekistan, recount their journey of relocating to Houston as refugees due to religious persecution in 2007. Their experiences in Houston, a diverse city with a significant refugee population, highlighted the unifying power of sports, particularly soccer. Inspired by a spontaneous beach soccer game that brought together individuals across cultural and linguistic barriers, they envisioned and actualized a multicultural soccer tournament, the Cup of Nations. The event, which started in Houston, has since expanded to 27 U.S. cities and 52 other nations, evolving into a global movement that fosters community interaction and disciple-making through sports.
