The Sacramento Republic FC soccer team brought its entire roster to Folsom State Prison for a scrimmage match.
Republic FC president and general manager Todd Dunivant has been visiting the institution once a month for seven years. During these visits, he brings staffers and select players to connect with the incarcerated population.
This October event was unique as it was the first time the soccer club’s entire roster of nearly 30 players came to train and play. The Sac Republic played against incarcerated players.
In the end, Folsom’s Intergalactico team won the scrimmage 6-1 against the Republic FC.
