Novi Merrick, Chief Executive Officer of Florida Premiere FC.

It's very very business like proud, proud Croatian on top of it.

I am proud American too, but really proud Croatian, so straight enough.

So we've been really big on activating during the World Cup.

Uh doing World Cup watch parties for the community.

We had over 2,000 people at each game.

We do street soccer style activations for the kids and mostly because we want people that have never watched a game before.

Introduce them to the game and there's no better time than the World Cup right now.

So it's been very helpful activating all the different programs.

For the community that's not familiar with the game, introduced him to all of our different programs like Rec Plus, Happy Feet, which is our younger ones, which it's been very, very beneficial.

So w when did you when did you leave Croatia?

Uh we left Croatia 27 years ago.

And then I moved to Germany, lived in Germany for nine years, and then moved to the United States.

So the change has been tremendous.

I know a lot of people always talk about USA's up and coming.

I completely disagree.

I think we've been on the map already the last five years.

Uh the game has evolved tremendously and a lot of people downplay it.

And I know everyone wants to find something that we can do better, but where have the clubs uh have gotten and the players

development the last five to ten years is tremendous.
