Amaanah Lions

sport is a powerful tool for integration and advancement. 

The Amaanah Lions is a championship winning soccer team in the Houston Football Association, comprised of young refugees and recent immigrants.

Young people 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 Bear Creek Pioneer’s Park. In the 2022/23 season, Amaanah Lions will play in Division 1B. 

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.
