Help Us Support Young Athletes in Honduras! ⚽👟

Many children in Honduras dream of playing soccer but lack basic equipment like cleats, shin guards, and soccer balls. Through 5 Star Soccer Academy's annual equipment drive, we collect and deliver donated gear directly to young players who need it most.

OUR MISSION

My name is Nahun Romero and I'm the founder of 5 Star Soccer Academy. I’m originally from Pinalejo Santa Bárbara, Honduras. In my hometown, many children dream of playing soccer, but with limited access to basic gear, it's difficult for them to pursue that passion safely or confidently. This summer, I want to help turn that dream into a reality. I’ll be returning to Honduras to host a series of soccer events for kids in underserved communities. To make this effort as impactful as possible, we’re launching a Shoe & Jersey Fundraiser, and we would love your support!

DONATIONS NEEDED THE MOST

Donate Gently Used Sneakers or Soccer Shoes (Deadline 6/27/26)
We are looking for shoes for children ages ~7 to 14 years old. If you or your child have a gently used pair of sneakers, soccer cleats, or turf shoes you no longer need, please consider donating them. These shoes can give another child the opportunity to play the game they love, safely.
