THE CHALLENGE

Lack of Urban Soccer Access

San Jose lacked accessible soccer fields, especially for small-sided formats.

Jodi, the property owner, identified an underused Chinese restaurant and parking lot, and envisioned a space that could bring sport, community, and social connection together.

COMMUNITY

From Takeout to Kickoff

The San Jose Legend Soccer site shows how creativity can reshape urban space. What was once a restaurant and parking lot is now an inclusive 5v5 hub where players come to train, compete, and connect.

The clubhouse adds a unique twist — food, events, and viewing parties alongside soccer — making this a true community destination.
