Street Soccer USA

Street Soccer USA (SSUSA), leverages the power of soccer to fight poverty and build community across differences. Pairing high-energy soccer with social-emotional learning focused on community, teamwork, resilience, and goal-setting, SSUSA Denver engages with communities across the region and brings the game to the heart of the Mile High City year round at the Street Soccer pitch at Skyline Park (16th & Arapahoe). SSUSA Denver partners with the City of Denver and Denver Parks and Rec to help revitalize the neighborhood with a safe space anchored in access to community wellness, physical activity, life-skills development, and social support.

In 2026 alone, SSUSA Denver partnered with the Colorado Rapids and the Downtown Denver Partnership to host 50,000+ guests at the 2026 Soccer Celebration at Skyline Park – a series of 100+ free community watch parties to celebrate the world’s sport, bringing the Denver community together around the FIFA World Cup, the biggest tournament on Earth. Through SSUSA Denver’s free programming, 1,903 athletes have already laced up with us, including 441 kids and teens under 18, many of whom are building belonging, confidence, and opportunity at the pitch.
