Four all-star kiddos (Eli Connolly, Aldin Cejvanovic, Jose Daniel Romero, and Felix Roth) represented Amani during the opening ceremony of the Fort Wayne FC-Chivas game on June 16.
On Father’s Day, Amani had the opportunity to witness firsthand a thrilling international friendly soccer match between Fort Wayne FC and Chivas de Guadalajara U23 from Mexico, at the University of Saint Francis’ Bishop D’Arcy Stadium.
Fort Wayne FC, a pre-professional football club in Fort Wayne, IN, invited Amani Family Services to be a partner in their friendly face-off against Chivas. Amani staff and supporters had a great time celebrating the international love of soccer at this event. In addition, Amani outreach were able to share about our programs and services through an outreach table.
Founded in 1906, Club Deportivo Guadalajara, known colloquially as Chivas, is a popular and beloved club in Mexico. This event was a special opportunity for Fort Wayne residents to experience international soccer at the highest level.
The match was a spectacle of skill, strategy, and sheer determination from both sides. Both teams showcased some of the best talents in North American soccer. The atmosphere surrounding the game was electric, with supporters from both teams bringing their fervor and energy to the stadium. Whether you were cheering for Fort Wayne FC or Las Chivas de Guadalajara U23, one thing is certain: Fort Wayne Indiana brings the opportunity for both nations to come together, celebrate diversity, promote goodwill, and demonstrate unity.
