Women's leadership through soccer.
Houston Shine FC is a women's soccer team proudly based in Houston, Texas. We bring more women and girls into the game, then develop them as players, coaches, fans, officials, and leaders in our community. Our founding players are women who escaped the Taliban and who will stop at nothing to keep playing.

Leslie Briones, Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner
