Our Story
Founded in Elizabeth, New Jersey, our story begins on neighborhood fields—where soccer wasn’t just a sport, it was a way of life. It built character, friendships, and dreams. But we also saw the barriers: lack of access,
financial challenges, and missed opportunities. So we set out to change that.
Driven by NJ Wonders FC, this foundation is a commitment:
To empower our youth.
To lead with passion.
To create a legacy that endures.
