According to the USDA, nearly 34 million people, including 9 million children, in the United States are food insecure. In Fairfax County alone, there are an estimated 75,000 food insecure residents. As the holiday season approaches, the OGS team wants to ensure that our communities are able to enjoy festive Thanksgiving meals with loved ones, while also facilitating a fun and active opportunity for emerging leaders to engage in bettering our communities.
In light of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the OGS team will host a 5 v 5 soccer tournament, with all proceeds going towards supporting food security within our communities. All proceeds will be donated to our partner organization, Food & Friends, and the OGS team will help prepare and home-deliver thousands of full Thanksgiving meals to individuals throughout D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. We've partnered with Footy Access, a Soccer Media Company that enables young players with a platform to be recognized and thrive.

Teams can play with as many players/subs as they want, but only five will be permitted on the field at a time
Teams will play 5v5 on small-sided goals, so there will be no goalkeepers in play.
When the ball goes out on the sidelines, play will be resumed with kick-ins, NOT throw ins.
Substitutions can be made at any time, but only five players per team may be on the field at once.
A semicircle will be played around the goal line. No player may step inside their own defending circle. Should this happen, a penalty will be awarded to the attacking team.
Games will be 30 minutes; 15-minute halves, with a two-minute halftime.
Operation Golden Shield will be holding a collection event on Saturday, July 22 to collect and deliver requested high-priority items in individually packed care packages to Veterans experiencing homelessness at the DC VAMC Community Living Center and residents of the Emery Low Barrier Shelter.
