Learn why St. Louis is the soccer capital of the United States from Dave Lange, author of “Soccer Made in St. Louis: A History of the Game in America’s First Soccer Capital." The story of soccer in St. Louis reaches at least as far back as 1872, when Irish and Scottish immigrants played the game, then passed on the sport to generation after generation of St. Louis-born players. The results: 90 national championships; 34 players, coaches and administrators in national soccer halls of fame; 78 players for the United States Men’s and Women’s National Teams; and today’s St. Louis CITY Soccer Club, which plays before sellout crowds in a dazzling facility that has remade Downtown West.
This event is free and open to the public. Books for signing will be available for purchase.
