From a purely soccer, love of the game standpoint, for Alejandro Bedoya, June has been quite the month. Ahead of next year’s FIFA World Cup, the longtime Union captain and former U.S. men’s national team midfielder has recently doubled down as an ambassador for a sport that he’s plied into a pretty notable career since 2009. On the club side, Bedoya has guided the Union to Major League Soccer’s best record behind a first-year coach and a noticeable crop of young talent.

Lahoucine Kharmaj was in awe of what he was witnessing. There, in front of him, just six rows up in section 110 at Lincoln Financial Field, was the club that had his heart from nearly 4,000 miles away.
