Nelson Neves, President of ISC

Moving to the Azores at a young age, Nelson developed a love of the beautiful game and started playing when he was 14 years old. Nelson developed his skills on defense as a center back and was quickly promoted to the main team where he was recognized as the best right back of the year. Continuing his growth as a player, Nelson eventually moved into the midfield position where he showed off his knack for offense.

Nelson moved back into the US in 2007 and played on multiple teams and leagues including MSSl, BSSL, and Casa Soccer League of Boston.

Despite keeping busy with his career, continuing his love of the game through Co-Ed soccer once a week, and devoting himself to the International Soccer League mission, Nelson still finds plenty of time for his family. He currently lives with his wonderful wife and 2 children.
