On hand were two new SEA2026 ambassadors, Jimmy McAlister and Jeff Stock. They join a growing cadre of ambassadors – individuals who have collectively sewn the fabric of what makes Washington’s soccer community so enduring and special.

McAlister and Stock, two native sons who went on to both play for the original Seattle Sounders and Tacoma Stars and later guide the development of others as coaches. Like other SEA2026 ambassadors, they are both pioneers from our past and key contemporary supporters of the game in many ways.
