The journey begins! Join us for a walk down memory lane as we recount the story of how we renovated a bus from Facebook Marketplace, traveled the world to produce a magazine, and ultimately decided to chase the Open Cup, all in the span of 3 months.

Releasing weekly, The Soccer Odyssey Podcast is an 8-ish episode series documenting the highs and lows of driving our 1998 bus turned soccer museum 12,000 miles across the country.

12,000+ miles. A 1998 school bus. And a whole lot of soccer.

Join us (Gabe, Justin, Pablo, and Tyler) as we look back at the year that was for CLUBELEVEN. What began as a desire to put out a print magazine somehow ended in a campaign aptly title The Soccer Odyssey. A 140-page collectible magazine starring USMNT player Tim Weah followed by a bus tour for the ages.

From figuring out how to insure a vehicle none of us knew how to drive, all the way to marching through the streets of Austin with an armadillo ahead of the city's biggest ever match, The Soccer Odyssey chased every round of the 2025 U.S. Open Cup. Stopping in places like Asheville, Naples, Louisville, Philadelphia, Dallas, while working with organizations like Bayern Munich, Vermont Green, NYC Footy, and Portland Hearts of Pine along the way.

Buckle up and settle in, it'll be a long one. 12 hours recorded in one session - talking about all the good that soccer in this country is doing.

RELEASING WEEKLY BEGINNING FEBRUARY.
