There are currently 947,248 people considered populations of concern in Mexico, 31% of which are asylum-seekers, 19% refugees, and 30% internally displaced. Mexico also bears the impact of insufficient resources and America’s constantly shifting immigration policies. Millions of people have come to the border in search of asylum from violence in Mexico and the Northern Triangle – El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. In recent years, asylum seekers have also come from countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, and Haiti. In early 2023, iACT launched Refugees United Soccer Academy in Reynosa with four new coaches and one project coordinator, who will lead the program for refugee and migrant children at the shelter Senda de Vida 1. The communities at the shelter are on the move, with new children coming and going from the program regularly. The Reynosa Academy was launched in partnership with The Sidewalk School, and funded by Angel City FC.
