Beyond The Ultimate - Olympic, Professional & College Christian Athletes and Coaches

The World Cup of Soccer

It’s billed as the greatest show on earth—one of the greatest sporting events in the world—and well over a billion people will passionately follow the month-long tournament. From June 11 to July 11 the world’s top soccer-playing nations will compete in the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

For these elite players in the tournament it is a dream come true. All their training, energy and emotions will be focused on the goal of winning it all, and the thrill of playing in the ultimate soccer tournament.

But the athletes you’ll read about here have discovered there is something beyond the ultimate pursuit of playing in the World Cup. They have found their highest desires are met beyond the ultimate sports goals in a vibrant relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

See what these soccer stars from around the world have to say.
