Kansas City, Missouri Dec 8, 2022 (Issuewire.com)  - “The Soccer Academy” Television Show is Returning to KMCI “The Spot” in Kansas City on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at 12:30 p.m. CT

Watch “The Soccer Academy” on the Entire LATV Network Platform as Well – Using Soccer to Spread Peace

Featuring Morocco this Week

 This Saturday at 12:30 in the afternoon (12:30 p.m. Central Time), the educational & instructional travelogue show known as “The Soccer Academy” is returning to broadcast television in metro Kansas City on KMCI “The Spot” (Channel 41).  The show will continue to air after that on consecutive Saturdays for the next several weeks on KMCI in the Kansas City area at 12:30 p.m.

Last season, “The Soccer Academy” featured various episodes that were filmed in and throughout the country of Mexico.  Many of those episodes can now be seen online via “The Soccer Academy” YouTube Channel at:

Those episodes can also be seen on www.SoccerAcademy.tv.

“The Soccer Academy” production team has produced four (4) new episodes that will be featured from December 2022 until the middle of 2023.  Those episodes were filmed in the countries of Morocco and Portugal, and episode descriptions can be found below.

“The Soccer Academy” is also broadcast and aired on the entire LATV network platform in over 30 cities in North America.  Some of those specific broadcast areas can be found below.

“The Soccer Academy” is an uplifting, inspirational, educational, and cultural show that demonstrates key soccer skills as well.  Most of all, perhaps, it boosts self-esteem and encourages healthy living for young people, adults, and families domestically and internationally.  The main premise of “The Soccer Academy” is to spread a message of “peace through soccer around the world.”

“The Soccer Academy” is co-produced in connection with the Global Foundation for Peace through Soccer, a non-profit organization that assists underprivileged, challenged, and marginalized communities around the globe through the sport of soccer.  See www.GlobalSoccerPeace.org for more.

This past summer, “The Soccer Academy” and the Global Foundation for Peace through Soccer teamed up with the State Department and the United States Embassy in Rabat, Morocco to host two weeks of soccer camps in Marrakech and Safi for young soccer players who were underserved in their communities.  During those camps, the staff from the Global Foundation for Peace through Soccer operated free soccer clinics throughout the day, gave away free soccer equipment, and served free meals to the needy and less fortunate in those communities in Morocco.

Founder and Chairman of the Global Foundation for Peace through Soccer, Antonio Soave, said this:

“Soccer is one of the greatest tools for spreading peace, love, culture, and understanding in the world today.  We are grateful to have so many wonderful high-level volunteer coaches from around the globe that donate their time and attention to this cause.  Most of all, we feel honored and blessed to be able to serve the needy, the disenfranchised, and the less fortunate whenever and wherever possible.  Furthermore, soccer possesses the ability to ethnic, racial, religious, and cultural boundaries.  In our case, we use soccer as a viable mechanism to get communities around the world to engage in a more peaceful and sustainable dialogue.”

The Soccer Academy television show is distributed by the Television Syndication Company (www.TVSCO.com).  Contact Mary Joyce for show distribution at mary@tvsco.com.

A key global sponsorship partner of “The Soccer Academy” is BU Sunscreen of Malibu, California (https://www.busunscreen.com).
