Nashville’s first soccer game
On April 25, 1925, soccer history was made in Nashville. Well, history of a sort. We think. Historical narratives are notoriously tricky, especially when we are trying to discover the “first” of anything. And yet, there is a very good argument to be made that April 25—almost a century ago—was indeed the date of the first “public” soccer game, when Peabody College defeated the Southern YMCA College 2-1 at Shelby Park.
