As a coach. he took a team to compete behind the Iron Curtain. recognizing that shared passions for sport could warm a relationship between superpowers. At CSSA he reached out to teams from immigrant communities. helping kids from all walks of life learn the game and participate in leagues. When Ed Eid immigrated to the U.S. in 1958. soccer had not yet entered the American mainstream. The sport thrived in immigrant communities. but the U.S. had neither a professional league nor its own soccer icons. After fighting through adversity and discrimination to become a successful entrepreneur. Eid dedicated more and more time to helping the game he loved gain ground.
