Our Mission
We use soccer and beyond to unite and empower the Shi’a community.
Umoja Games
The largest annual Shi'a soccer tournament is one of our community's most anticipated. It is truly a family event. With 8 tournament categories, we have something for everyone!
Umoja Academy
The heartbeat of the organization, the Academy is where we develop soccer skills using our hand-picked coaches to our wide array of age categories. In doing so, we build new bonds for today's and tomorrow's generations.
uMentor
With the wealth of knowledge and expertise within our communities, all that is missing is a platform to connect us together. uMentor is that missing link that will bring a new meaning to how we help each other succeed.
Umoja Care
Community service is and will be at the center of the organization and UmojaCare takes that one step further. With this branch, the goal is to touch the lives of many outside the Umoja family.
UmojiBrains
Finances should be the last obstacle a student should face to achieve success. With UmojiBrains, a program that is coming soon, we enable you to receive assistance by participating in a variety of different events and competitions.
