In 2022, Jordan Jesolva, her husband Dylan Autran, and their friend Max Ornstil started the Neighborhood Sports Club, aiming to keep their passion for sports alive after retiring from their professional careers. Their vision included forming soccer leagues and selling sportswear, but they always dreamed of launching a physical location.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to May 2026, just weeks before the World Cup kicks off, that dream became a reality for the Neighborhood Sports Club. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a whirlwind these last three months,\u201d Jesolva shared. \u201cMany people have told us it feels like watching a game at a friend\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\n
The NSC community cafe and bar was designed not just to be another sports bar but to serve as a gathering spot for the communities of Oakland and San Francisco. Jesolva emphasized that it\u2019s more about creating a welcoming environment for everyone to play, watch, and enjoy soccer together.<\/p>\n
Recently, Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal sat down with Jesolva to discuss the journey of bringing NSC to life and their excitement for the upcoming 2027 Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
This venture is all about connecting people through sports and building a strong community around the love of the game.
