Amaanah Lions is a free soccer program for refugee youth in Houston. We are part of Amaanah Services, a registered 501c3 charity .
Refugees and immigrants from any background aged 16-25 are welcome to join us
for recreational and competitive play all year round.
​
Games are played on Sundays at Bayland Park and Bear Creek Park . In the 2024/25 season, Amaanah Lions will play in the HFA Championship Division and Division 2A.
Mission
We're here to help Houston refugees adapt to their new environment through soccer, supporting them as they build friendships, integrate into a new city and find their place in America.
​
Everyone is welcome. If you were born ten thousand miles away or ten minutes, you'll be able to train and play with us.
