I have a friend who made a documentary about two Somali soccer players which have now both made their way to his hometown of St. Louis. One is attending SLU and hoping to play this fall but awaiting NCAA clearance because he played on a team where he received compensation. They are optimistic, but I'm worried about him being cleared.
Here are some links, I encourage everyone to check it out:
