Zara Sports Club has been in operation located in Northern Virginia since 2010 as an association of local DC Metropolitan Area Eritrean‐American parents to create an independent, sports association. Zara has been providing many Eritrean‐American children the opportunity to play and develop their skills in soccer. It maintains the relationship with other Eritrean/Eritrean‐American soccer associations in the surrounding states, local leagues, the Eritrean Sports Federation in North America (ESFNA), and the Eritrean Sports Federation. The name Zara Sports Club was chosen to bridge these children to their forefather’s country: Eritrea. Zara is a place located in the northern highlands of Eritrea in the Ansseba Region on the Zara River.
