IS CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY MARK WEISMAN.
MARK IS A SOCCER ADVOCATE, FAN, COACH, PERSONAL TRAINER AND BUSINESS PERSON. AFTER OPERATING SOCCER WORLD AS A RETAIL STORE IN HERMITAGE AND NASHVILLE FOR 5 YEARS, HE DECIDED TO RE-FOCUS HIS EFFORTS ON A COMMUNITY BASED WEB SITE THAT PROVIDES PEOPLE WITH ALL THE SOCCER INFORMATION THEY NEED IN ONE PLACE, AND PUBLISH LOCAL SOCCER NEWS THAT OFTEN GETS OVERLOOKED.
IN 2004 MARK WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING THE VERY FIRST INTERNATIONAL SOCCER MATCH TO NASHVILLE, AS SOCCER WORLD PRESENTED THE LOS ANGELS GALAXY AND U.A.G. TECOS AT THE NASHVILLE COLISEUM IN APRIL OF THAT YEAR. THE GAME DREW 12,000 EXCITED FANS AND WAS KICKED OFF BY MAYOR BILL PURCELL AT A WELL ATTENDED PRESS CONFERENCE. THINGS HAVE NOT BEEN THE SAME IN NASHVILLE SINCE, AND WE HAVE SEEN THE U.S. NATIONAL TEAMS, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN VISIT OUR CITY.
