Phil Gomez and Alice Sollitto swiped right in 2018, both clutching a soccer ball in their profile pictures and a mutual love for the beautiful game.
From Swipe to Wedding Vows
Gomez, a youth soccer coach with Sporting Kansas City, found a partner who not only understood the rhythm of the pitch but also shared his ambition to grow the sport at the grassroots level.
Their connection deepened quickly, leading to a wedding ceremony at Sporting Park, where the couple wove soccer motifs into every detail, from the décor to the vows.
Beyond the field, they chronicled their journey on social media, sharing training drills, match highlights and behind‑the‑scenes moments that resonated with fans who crave authentic stories of partnership and passion.
In a surprise twist, Gomez was tapped to work with FIFA at the Kansas City Stadium during the recent World Cup, a testament to how local dedication can open doors on the global stage.
Now, the duo hopes their story will encourage others to pursue their interests relentlessly and to support one another’s dreams, proving that love and sport can indeed score a perfect match.
