Help Pay For Soccer In Sweden 2025

Help Me Reach My Dream – Gothia Cup 2025 in Sweden!

***For every $10 donated, I will be running 1 mile and doing 1000 juggles. I will post updates on my training and live footage from the soccer games in Sweden in July on my Instagram @AidenBaudinoSoccer.***

Hi, my name is Aiden Baudino, and I’m 15 years old. Soccer has been my passion for as long as I can remember. From the first time I kicked a ball, I knew this was more than just a sport to me — it’s my dream, my drive, and my future.

This summer, I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to play in the Gothia Cup in Sweden — the largest youth soccer tournament in the world. I'll be representing Los Angeles on a team that’s not only playing for the game but also raising awareness for the devastating LA fires of 2025. It’s a cause that hits close to home, and I’m proud to play for something bigger than myself.

Playing in the Gothia Cup means competing with talented players from around the globe, learning from top coaches, and getting one step closer to my dream of becoming a professional soccer player. But I need your help to make it happen.

The costs for travel, lodging, uniforms, and tournament fees add up quickly, and I’m currently fundraising to cover $2500 to help me get there. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to stepping onto that field in Sweden and chasing a dream I’ve worked toward my entire life.

If you can, please consider supporting my journey — and know that your generosity is helping a young athlete not only grow in the game, but also represent a city and cause that matter deeply to me.

Thank you for believing in me!

With gratitude,

Aiden Baudino
