PHILADELPHIA - In the past few years, Philadelphia has played host to major events, including the Democratic National Convention, NFL Draft, and Pope's visit. The city is also home to several professional sports teams, including the Philadelphia Union, which has recently seen an uptick in grassroots soccer interest. The Union, led by Jim Curtin, is one of the best teams in the league and won the Supporters' Shield for the best regular-season record in 2020.
