Our 2023 Goals Galore Outdoor Tournament marked an incredible milestone as our first-ever event! With sponsorships from Meirs (Maine Immigration and Refugee Services), Generational Noor, UnitedYES, and Saban’s Cuisine, we set out to bring more sporting opportunities to our community.
Hosted at Saint Joseph’s College on August 5, 2023, the tournament exceeded expectations by bringing together 12 teams from across Maine, including Portland, Lewiston, Westbrook, and Brunswick—showcasing inclusiveness and unity. Fans, parents, and community members came out in full support, creating a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere.
We were honored to have Amran from Generational Noor and Omar from UnitedYES lead the award ceremony and thank everyone for their contributions. The winning teams received trophies and commemorative t-shirts, and we also awarded MVP, Top Scorer, and Best Goalie for both tournaments. The positive feedback we received motivates us to continue organizing tournaments that bring people together and celebrate the power of sports.
Following the success of our 2023 outdoor tournament, we hosted our first-ever indoor tournament on December 29, 2023, at XL Sports World in Saco, Maine, utilizing its two fields for simultaneous games. We were proud to collaborate with SLRO and UnitedYES, organizations that share our mission of empowering communities through sports.
The one-day tournament brought together 8 adult teams and 4 under-19 teams, creating an exciting atmosphere of competition and camaraderie. With generous sponsorships from Meirs(Maine Immigrants and Refugee Services), LA Youth Network, Batula Builders, and our collaborators, we awarded trophies to the adult and under-19 champions, along with individual honors for Best Goalie, MVP, and Top Scorer.
To honor the lives lost in the recent Lewiston tragedy, the winning teams wore commemorative "Lewiston Strong" t-shirts. The tournament was another step forward in uniting communities through sports, and the positive feedback inspires us to continue building these impactful events.
Our 2024 Goals Galore Outdoor Tournament was an incredible success, bringing together 12 teams of talented athletes and an enthusiastic crowd. Thanks to our partnerships with SLRO (Sustainable Livelihoods Relief Organization) and UnitedYES, and the support of the Lewiston Recreation Department, we hosted this vibrant event at Lewiston High School's field.
The tournament celebrated community spirit, awarding trophies to the Under 19 and Adult champions. We also recognized individual excellence by presenting six awards: MVP, Best Goalie, and Top Scorer for both the Under 19 and Adult tournaments. To honor their achievement, the winning teams received commemorative tournament champion t-shirts.
With fantastic feedback from players, coaches, and fans alike, we’re inspired to continue building partnerships and creating opportunities for youth and young adults to thrive through sports!
