# The Reno Soccer Scene
Reno is the Biggest Little Soccer City in the World — a desert mountain community at the foot of the Sierra Nevada where soccer thrives thanks to a large Latino population, a vibrant University of Nevada campus, and a growing tech/outdoor recreation-oriented workforce.
The Biggest Little City's soccer scene is shaped by its proximity to the Bay Area (3.5 hours), its large Mexican-American community in the Sparks and east Reno corridor, and the outdoor recreation culture that produces naturally athletic players. Reno 1868 FC established professional soccer credibility before transitioning, and the current soccer landscape is driven by strong community organizations and university programs.
