Synopsis

Barefoot, kicking a ball he made stuffing rags into a sock, eight-year-old Luciano sought escape from the poverty punishing his family for being on the losing side of the Paraguayan civil war. Hiking to rural villages or train hopping into Brazil with his ragtag soccer teams, he honed his skills in the beautiful game. His celebrity status earned captaining his state’s all-star team helps him dribble the political repression of the military dictatorship that, for many others, resulted in detention, exile, or worse. He parlayed his sports career into business until tragic events, political turmoil, and narco-violence force him to flee with his family, leaving it all behind. Bringing only his passion and experience, he starts anew in the U.S., where he rises as a sports leader. Learn about the incredible life of Luciano Fernandez, “The Pioneer of Futsal.” From child too poor to afford a soccer ball to U.S. Ambassador to FIFUSA and the North American Futsal Federation.
