Soccer can be a powerful tool for bringing people together. Since 1996 Columbus Crew SC, have been doing that, but they were not the first organization to do so in central Ohio.
Over 50 years ago the Greek Olympic Society formed in order to bring Columbus’ Greek immigrant community together through a combination of soccer and fellowship. These days, the Greek Olympic Society, in conjunction with the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral that houses them, hosts an annual Greek Night at MAPFRE Stadium.
Now in its third year, Greek Night serves as a chance for the Greek community of Columbus to come together and support one of its own, as Crew SC captain Wil Trapp comes from a family closely linked to the church.
