# The Richmond Soccer Scene
Richmond is the Mid-Atlantic's rising soccer star — a hip, creative city with a passionate soccer culture that belies its modest size. Richmond Kickers, one of USL's longest-running clubs, have built a loyal fanbase, while the city's growing Latino population has injected authentic community soccer energy into every neighborhood.
The River City's diverse neighborhoods — Church Hill, Jackson Ward, and the Northside — each host their own community soccer traditions. Virginia Commonwealth University keeps a young, energetic soccer demographic at the city's core, while the surrounding suburbs of Henrico and Chesterfield counties have seen explosive youth soccer growth.
