U.S. Soccer Foundation's first mini-pitches honoring Black Players for Change were unveiled Monday at West Side High School in Newark, New Jersey.

Black executives from the New York Red Bulls and the U.S. Soccer Foundation and players on the West Side High School soccer team held discussions to talk about their own personal experiences and challenges facing Black communities.

At the event, it was also announced that adidas, a longtime U.S. Soccer Foundation partner, has joined BPC, Musco Lighting and the U.S. Soccer Foundation as a national partner to install at least 12 mini-pitches honoring BPC over the next year.
