In this episode of Touchline Talk, we sit down with Paul Dreisbach—co-founder of Petrichor Football Association and a leading voice in global sports for development—to explore how soccer can be a powerful tool for social change.

From launching community-based leagues in Cameroon to partnering with global brands like LaLiga to pioneer La Ligue D’Égalité, Paul shares how his journey in football has become a mission to develop youth, empower girls, and create systems that promote lasting impact through the beautiful game.

We talk coaching in underserved communities, sustainable development in youth soccer, and how to build equity in the sport from the grassroots up.

Whether you're a coach, a leader, or simply passionate about football’s potential to transform lives, this conversation will inspire and challenge you.
