Growing up in Les Ulis, a commune in Paris, Patrice Evra understands the significance of sport in shaping the future of young players who may lack the resources to pursue their dreams.
Reflecting on his own journey, Evra emphasizes the importance of providing equal opportunities for all children to play and enjoy the game. He believes that an innovative solution like Goalpher can help level the playing field and provide access to soccer for aspiring players from diverse backgrounds.
Kyle Martino, inspired by Evra’s story, shares his passion for creating opportunities for young children regardless of their background or origin. Martino believes that by providing resources and attention to aspiring athletes, their futures can be transformed not only in sports but in life as well.
Martino sees Evra’s involvement in Goalpher as a significant step towards expanding access to the beautiful game and making it a right for all rather than a privilege for a few. Together, they aim to fulfill their shared dream of increasing accessibility to soccer, the world’s most accessible and captivating sport.
