With the 2007 Indigenous Soccer Cup over and deemed a strong success, we take a quick look back.
From July 28th to August 4th, over 260 athletes, representing 34 North American tribes, gathered at the University of New Mexico. To the drum of Bernalillo’s Soaring Eagle, the ISC participants, wearing their jerseys and carrying their tribal flags, marched onto UNM’s Johnson Field during Opening Ceremonies. The celebration continued into the afternoon when the first round of matches kicked off. The six soccer fields were busy during the week, hosting 71 soccer matches.
