# The Salt Lake Soccer Scene
Salt Lake City is one of America's most surprising soccer cities — a mountain metropolis with a deep-rooted soccer culture driven by Utah's large LDS (Latter-day Saint) missionary community, returning from Brazil, Mexico, and Latin America with a love of the game, and a rapidly growing Latin immigrant population.
Real Salt Lake's consistent MLS presence since 2005, two-time MLS finalists, has built a genuine professional soccer culture in the Wasatch Front. The club's youth academy is one of the country's most innovative, while Utah's high school soccer scene is exceptionally strong. The city's proximity to world-class mountain recreation adds an athletic culture that naturally extends to soccer.
