\u201cSoccer is a sport that brings people together, and this partnership really serves as an example of that,\u201d said Holden. \u201cIt brings communities together, it brings groups of friends together and this fall, you can expect to watch the biggest, greatest and best sporting event on the planet when the World Cup begins on FOX.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

FOX Sports\u2019 partnership with Common Goal advances the organization\u2019s mission to use soccer to transform the lives of underserved and underrepresented youth in communities across the country, while utilizing the world\u2019s biggest sporting event to tell the story of soccer for good. The partnership furthers FOX Sports\u2019 efforts through its FOX Sports Supports community impact program to create fighting chances for all athletes to play and access sports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese kind of engagements are so important because they help to move the sport forward and help to create more access, especially for underprivileged kids who might not get those opportunities,\u201d said Edu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional community events will be held this year in the lead up to the FIFA World Cup\u2122 as part of the FOX Sports and Common Goal partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
