Dear Passenger,
Did you know the story of soccer in America predates the 13 Colonies? It’s crazy, but it’s true.
Well before the Wright Brothers took flight, well before the Statue of Liberty raised its torch on Ellis Island, well before the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, the Pilgrims witnessed Native Americans kicking a ball near Plymouth Rock.
The beautiful game is as American as apple pie.
Its legacy has been passed down for centuries, and now, we’re on the verge of the greatest moment in our winding soccer history. It’s one we can’t afford to let pass us by.
So, over the past six months, we embarked on a secret journey to immortalize this pivotal moment in time—right before the 2026 World Cup—forever.
It’s a quest that took us to ten different cities around the U.S. and even carried us halfway around the globe, searching for the hidden threads that make up the heart of American soccer.
We’ll unveil the findings from our expedition on Tuesday, 03/11, but our voyage has only just begun.
With more soccer stories to tell around the country, new trailblazers to meet on the road, and vibrant communities to explore from coast to coast, we knew we needed a vessel to carry us during this next leg of our journey. A way to bring all of us together in celebrating the best parts of American soccer.
We hope you’ll join us aboard…
Sincerely,
THE CLUBELEVEN CREW
