Want to Start a Baha'i Soccer Team

Allah'u'abha, everyone! We are delighted to start BIFA. We started in Ottawa, Canada in the Summer of 2006. Currently, we only have two Clubs in the Association, but we are thinking of spreading BIFA all through CANADA and bringing it farther around the world. The two Clubs are the Ottawa Nine Stars F.C. and the Twin Arrows F.C. (British Columbia) A few other cities are also trying to start their own Clubs. If you would like to start a Club in your area or already have a team and want to join our Association, please contact us at bifa@bci.org.

First Nations and Baha'i youth bond through soccer

It's not often the players on opposite sides of a soccer team huddle together for prayers before a game. But neither is it common for outsiders to play in a soccer league that is otherwise composed entirely of Native Canadians. The Twin Arrows soccer team, made up of young Baha'is from the cities of Victoria, Nanaimo, and Vancouver in British Columbia on Canada's West Coast recently wrapped up its fifth season playing in a regional soccer league here, which is otherwise made up entirely of First Nations peoples -- one of the indigenous communities here.The Baha'is were invited to join the league in 2002 and since then have managed to fit in well into a league that is as much about community fellowship as it is about high-energy soccer.
