Atlanta United is brining their mobile merchandise truck to Canton in Cannon Park on June 30, from 4-8pm. There will be a DJ, Yard games and more. 

The Atlanta United Foundation and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) have launched GA 100, a campaign to create 100 mini-pitches across Georgia before the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The first four sites have been chosen, and the Atlanta United Foundation is now seeking applications for the next round of grants.

Cherokee Youth Foundation, in Canton, whose $75,000 grant will build a field at Harmon Field Park in the Sunnyside neighborhood.

“One of the main goals of the Atlanta United Foundation is to bring soccer to communities that have no access to the sport,” said Rodrigo Rios, Atlanta United Academy Coach and Associate Committee Member, The Atlanta United Foundation. “The GA 100 project allows us to create soccer-specific spaces where entire communities, from young kids to adults, from different walks of life, can enjoy the benefits of playing soccer. We are really happy to be part of a project that will include more people across the state in the sport.”

The mini-pitch fields, once built, will include field surface improvements, goals, fencing and lighting. GA 100 grants are issued once established funding thresholds are reached for each project.
