Listen "1996 Summer Olympics"
Episode Synopsis
Together, we reminisce with our listeners about the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. We asked local residents to provide their stories and memories from 1996, and we've gathered them in this very special episode.
We explore how soccer became an instrumental part of the city following the Olympic Games. We also cover how 1996 was the first year that women's soccer was included as a sport in the Olympics as we speak with one of the advocates who led the charge.
The History of Atlanta Soccer presented by Piedmont is a narrative podcast from Atlanta United. Hosted by Sandy McAfee and Jason Longshore, this series dives deep into the rich, beautiful, passionate history of soccer in Atlanta, Georgia.
