Dozens of area leaders and fútbol enthusiasts were on hand last week with shovels as Mobile County broke ground on a multi-field soccer complex seven years in the making.

The tossing of the ceremonial dirt marked the official beginning of the Mobile County Soccer Complex, which will be situated in the corridor of Interstate 10 and Interstate 65. It’s a facility the county hopes can provide a place for local youth soccer teams to play and practice, and a venue that will attract state and regional tournaments.
