Soccer is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S., but not all kids have the same access to fields, gear, coaches or fan experiences that other kids have. Many nonprofit organizations work hard to provide the space that is required for Black and Hispanic youth in underserved communities to find the same joy in soccer that some might take for granted, but the cause is ongoing.

As part of its Racial Equality initiative, PepsiCo and its brands Pepsi, Gatorade, and FritoLay have launched Team of Champions, a new platform that provides resources for youth soccer teams in underserved areas all across the country.
