U.S. soccer icon Paul Caligiuri seeks to save the sport
Paul Caligiuri's famous goal in 1989, known as "the shot heard 'round the world," ended a 40-year U.S. Soccer World Cup drought and significantly advanced the sport's development in America. His score during World Cup qualifying secured America's first qualification in four decades, leading to the growth of professional leagues, improved national team rankings, and increased youth participation. Now 62, Caligiuri focuses on grassroots efforts to address field shortages and costs, aiming to expand access and support for young players as the U.S. prepares to host the World Cup again.
