Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Karen Football Association empowers the Karen community and other refugee communities of Burma through the game of soccer.

From the youngest ages of our youth soccer academy all the way through to our men's and women's semi-professional teams, we use sport as a tool for healing, growth, and opportunity-helping individuals thrive on and off the field while strengthening the identity and resilience of our communities.
