Help Autism Soccer’s 14 Heroes Make History at the 2025 Copa Genius Cup in Hiroshima, Japan!
Hello Supporters
In 2012, Autism Soccer was born in Miami, Florida, with a heartfelt mission: to use soccer as a bridge to empower autistic children, foster inclusion, and prove that every child has the potential to achieve greatness. Over the past 12 years, this vision has changed countless lives. Children have found confidence, families have felt hope, and communities have embraced the power of acceptance.
Now, we have an extraordinary opportunity that will mark a historic milestone in our journey: 14 incredible children from Autism Soccer will represent the United States at the 2025 Copa Genius Cup in Hiroshima, Japan, from March 29 to April 7.
This is more than a trip—it’s a movement of hope, courage, and inclusion.
Why This Journey Matters
This isn’t just a soccer tournament—it’s a life-changing experience. These 14 children, alongside their parents and a dedicated team of professionals, will embark on a journey across the globe to show the world what inclusion truly means.
They’ll demonstrate that autism is not a limitation but a unique perspective filled with potential.
They’ll prove that every child, when given the chance, can achieve greatness.
They’ll inspire countless families and children around the world, breaking down stereotypes and building bridges of understanding.
This journey is the culmination of 12 years of dedication, resilience, and love. Autism Soccer has worked tirelessly to create opportunities for children to thrive both on and off the field. For these kids and their families, this is more than a trip—it’s a chance to make history, to live their dreams, and to show the world the power of unity.
What We Need
We are seeking to raise $180,000 to bring this vision to life. Your contributions will cover:
Travel & Lodging: Ensuring 14 children, their parents, and 12 Autism Soccer representatives (including coaches, doctors, nutritionists, and specialists) have everything they need for a safe and successful trip.
Uniforms: So the team can proudly represent the United States and Autism Soccer.
Meals & Essentials: Providing the children with everything they need to stay healthy and focused.
Logistics & Support: From planning travel to ensuring smooth participation in the tournament.
How You Can Help
Every donation—whether it’s $20, $200, or $2,000—brings us closer to our goal. Your generosity will directly support:
Giving these children the experience of a lifetime.
Showcasing to the world that autism is not a barrier but an opportunity for greatness.
Promoting inclusion and acceptance through the universal language of sports.
If you’re unable to donate, you can still help by sharing our story with others. Together, we can make this dream a reality.
Join Us in Making History
This journey is about much more than soccer. It’s about creating a world where every child, regardless of their abilities, has the opportunity to dream, achieve, and inspire. With your help, these 14 children can travel across the globe, break barriers, and return home as champions of hope and inclusion.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for believing in our mission and supporting Autism Soccer. Let’s make history—one goal at a time.
“Because we’re all different, we’re all the same.”
