CAN WE KICK IT?
The talent is here. The system isn’t.
TRAILER
Soccer is the world’s game.
But in America’s urban communities… it’s still missing.
ABOUT THE FILM
Can We Kick It? is an Award Winning cultural documentary exploring access, opportunity, and the untapped potential within urban communities—shaping the future of soccer in America.
Soccer is the world’s game—but in the United States, one of its most influential communities has largely been left out of its growth.
Can We Kick It? examines the cultural, structural, and economic barriers that have limited the game’s reach in urban America, while uncovering the talent, stories, and emerging pathways that point toward a different future.
As the 2026 World Cup approaches, the film positions urban communities not as an afterthought—but as a critical force in unlocking the next era of American soccer.

Theresa Majeed
Theresa Majeed is a film producer and co-founder of Concrete2Green (C2G), a cultural and sports platform working at the intersection of soccer, community, and urban markets. Through her work with C2G, she saw firsthand how limited access and visibility in many Black communities shaped who was included — and excluded — from the sport’s mainstream narrative, informing the need to produce this film. Can We Kick It?—shot over a period of three years—captures a pivotal moment as the U.S. prepares to host the 2026 World Cup, when the question of who gets to be seen, remembered, and engaged in American soccer feels especially urgent. A graduate of Spelman College, her work is grounded in a longstanding commitment to Black history, culture, and storytelling.
