Greece has a new football team called Hope Refugee United. Every one of its players is a refugee. It all started with a few young men kicking a football around at a refugee camp near Athens. Americans know the game as soccer. The newly formed team has played only a few games as Hope Refugee United. Now, the players are dreaming bigger as they take part in trials to form an official league team. Their hope is to compete against some of Greece’s best teams in the coming weeks. For many of the players, this chance to compete fills an important void in their lives. They find life in their refugee camp at times frustrating, and with little to do. Sometimes, there are fights between people of different ethnicities. However, a shared love of the sport of football has begun to bring the refugees together.
