We are a city who has proven ourselves to be passionate and lovers of the game of soccer from the earliest ages to the professional ranks. We have teams that are willing and able to compete at any and all levels despite being such a small market. And it's time we start talking about it. </p><p>My name is Brian Biedenbach. I'm a podcaster, I'm a video content creator with Summit City Studios and I've been part of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CincySoccerTalk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cincinnati Soccer Talk</a> for the last three seasons. And it's time to finally bring the soccer talk to the city where I live. And that's why we've assembled a fantastic team of soccer minded individuals. I'm talking college coaches, high school coaches, we've got parents of young players, we've got folks involved in local clubs here in Fort Wayne to bring you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@FortWayneFooty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fort Wayne Footy</a>.
