Our 16th Captain of the Match, Daniel McCallum

Daniel captains a team called EWAM (Exceptional Women, Average Men), which promotes gender equality in mixed gender sports. 

Daniel goes above and beyond what it means to be a captain.

He hosts an annual fundraiser for women's reproductive rights, which to date has raised over $22 thousand dollars, and is on the board of WeDoGoodWorks, a charity that furnishes the homes of New Yorkers in need. 

Daniel grew up in Glasgow, where he learned to love football, Glasgow Celtic, and a pint... or two. 

It was only after he moved to NYC, where he's lived for the last 13 years, that he came into his own as a footballer and as an exceptional captain and community leader.

Beyond the on-the-field championships and the off the field accolades, Daniel McCallum has brought together hundreds of people over the years under the umbrella of EWAM and NYC Footy. 

More than anything, this is what it means to be a captain, to create a space through which people can come together.

It's through people like Daniel that we begin to see how far our actions and relationships can ripple and effect change. 

Thank you Captain Daniel!
