FIFA Club World Cup in Philadelphia

A historic tournament one year before another — with the first FIFA Club World Cup happening in the United States, taking full advantage of matches being in Philadelphia was an absolute must. To properly document this tournament in this sports-crazed city, the fans had to be the focus. Over 346.000 fans from all 50 states and 120 countries came through the Lincoln Financial Field gates, with some seeing their clubs in-person for the very first time.

COPA America Centenario - B&W

 The 90 minute actual match is only a small portion of what everyone sees. COPA America Centenario has taken center stage in the USA, and how energetic and exciting it has been. Photographing from the first fans to the last interview, I have tried to capture it all during this historic tournament. Looking at all the intimate-behind-the-scenes moments is what is what really brings joy to the game. 

Bethlehem Steel vs. Syracuse University

Starting in April, Bethlehem Steel FC will begin their inaugural season. Being one of the most prized soccer clubs in the United States with a prosperous history, professional soccer will once again take place in the Lehigh Valley. The team is the Philadelphia Union's USL affiliate team. On March 6th, the BSFC took to the field with a tremendous 5-0 win in their first preseason game against Syracuse University. Here are some of my shots from that first game. 


Philadelphia Union Open Practice

Philadelphia's professional soccer team, Philadelphia Union, opens up its 7th season away on March 6th, vs. FC Dallas. The team held their annual open practice for fans before they depart for Florida for the rest of their preseason training. Taking these shots for KickTV, here some of my favorites from that late January day. P.s. Is it March yet? Doop!
