Rory is joined by Founder, Head Coach and President of the newly formed Soccer Federation of Appalachia, Stevie Leszyk.

He has developed a strategic plan surrounding player recruitment, philosophy and team identity in order to drive the project forward, and aims to have a team ready to compete at the Unrepresented World Cup in 2025.

Ever wondered what it's like to establish a new FA for a non-FIFA region? This is the podcast for you.
