Alejandro Bedoya has been with the Union for just more than a year now, and Philadelphia is starting to feel genuinely like home for him.
That is no small statement for a player who was born in northern New Jersey, grew up in south Florida, played college soccer at Fairleigh Dickinson and Boston College, and has been a pro in Sweden, Scotland and France.
Bedoya and his Norwegian wife have a place near Fishtown. They have two children, one of whom was born in July. He gets recognized around town every once in a while.
“I definitely love the area where I live,” he said.
