Working to promote “the Beautiful Game” in the Marianas

Members of the Northern Mariana Islands Football Association - Alex Sablan, Steven Pixley, and Wesley Bogdan - traveled to DC to advocate for the CNMI’s admission into FIFA, the global governing body for football (soccer). I helped arrange their meeting with White House Task Force Executive Director Andrew Giuliani, and was grateful for the time the White House gave to our people to make their case for our nation’s support in adding the Northern Marianas, the only U.S. territory not currently represented in FIFA.
