Saturday, May 17, 2025, marked the 5th Copa Corazón event – an event in which City SC coaches, volunteers & family members travel to Tijuana to run a fun, day long soccer clinic in aid of the charities Corazón and Corazon de Vida.
Over 100 local school children from 6 different Tijuana and Tecate based communities participated in the event. Children were split into six different groups based on ages and communities. With set coaches assigned to each group, the groups then participated in small sided games and skills clinics throughout the day; playing, chatting and having fun.
Every child received a uniform, a soccer ball, a backpack and a Copa Corazón medal. Children who did not have cleats also received new cleats.
As well as giving a special thanks to our coaches and helpers, the event itself is ran purely on donations so we’d also like to thank Fusion Risk Management, LA Galaxy, La Costa Canyon High School, Manchester United and San Diego Wave FC; who collectively donated uniforms, lunches, medals, soccer balls and backpacks.
City SC’s lead organizer/representative, Adam Martin, commented, “We always love coming down to Tijuana to run this fantastic event. Not only do the players get so much from this event but it’s a great opportunity for our City SC coaches to be able to volunteer and pass some soccer knowledge onto these children. It was smiles all round throughout the day and we’re all looking forward to the next one!”
Big well done to all involved!
