A highly regarded and respected professional in his field of engineering, John Gy\u00e9k\u00e9nyesi has another passion in his life, and that is the sport of soccer.\u00a0 He started his U.S. soccer experience in 1953, playing in the American (later Lake Erie) Soccer League of Cleveland until 1988.\u00a0 He participated in numerous National Cup competitions representing the Ohio Soccer Association-North (OSAN) and was selected to participate in the All-Ohio and All-Midwest teams. His commitment to spreading the love of the sport continued, and during the early 70s, he was involved with the professional soccer team, the Cleveland Stars\/Cobras. Dr. Gy\u00e9k\u00e9nyesi played a significant role in the growth of American soccer; he was active with the Professional American Soccer League, the United States Adult Soccer Association and the United States Soccer Federation. Throughout these years, he met some of the world\u2019s most famous soccer players and he will share his impressions of these stars. He was among the early pioneers in 1967 when youth soccer started in Cleveland, promoting further growth. Today, 70 years later, soccer is an accepted part of U.S. sports, thanks to thousands of committed organizers such as John Gy\u00e9k\u00e9nyesi.\u00a0 Youth soccer has millions of players, professional soccer is well established, and the United States Soccer Federation is a major and important member of FIFA.
