SOCCER PLAYERS LIVE LONGER
Playing soccer was linked to 4.7 extra years of life in a 25-year study of more than 8,500 people.¹
Former professional players were 20% less likely to die from heart disease and had lower overall mortality through age 70.²
And just two one-hour games a week may cut cardiovascular disease risk by more than 50%.³
Why? Soccer combines movement with something just as important: other people.
Find a pickup game. Join a league. Kick the ball around with your kids.
You do not need a trophy. You need a team.
