# Desert Soccer Pitch Pictures Dick Sweeney's Soccer Field Photos Show the Universal Love of Futbol By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-04-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccer-field-photos References: [ufunk.net](http://www.ufunk.net/photos/desert-pitches/) & [dicksweeney](http://www.dicksweeney.com/) These soccer field photos by Dick Sweeney show how far the reach of soccer actually expands. Even in far-off deserts in the middle of nowhere, soccer culture is present. One of the coolest things about soccer is how accessible it is. All it really takes is a ball, which can be made from garbage, and someone to pass the ball around to or some creativity for an impromptu net. This is great, because getting out and being active is important for health. These soccer field photos show that there is no excuse not to get out there and play the game. Even in areas without perfectly cut lawns, beautiful mesh-covered nets and nicely drawn up lines, people are playing soccer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Accessible Soccer:** The trend of soccer being accessible with minimal resources presents opportunities for innovative solutions in equipment and playing surfaces. - **Health and Activity:** The trend of using soccer as a means of promoting health and physical activity can lead to disruptive innovations in fitness and wellness industries. - **Soccer Culture Expansion:** The trend of soccer's global reach and presence in unconventional locations opens opportunities for disruptive innovation in marketing and cultural exchange industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Equipment:** The sports equipment industry can explore disruptive innovations to create affordable and sustainable soccer equipment for resource-limited areas. - **Fitness and Wellness:** The fitness and wellness industry can tap into the trend of soccer as a means of promoting physical activity to develop innovative fitness programs and products. - **Marketing and Cultural Exchange:** The marketing and cultural exchange industries can leverage soccer's global presence to create disruptive campaigns and initiatives that bridge diverse communities through the sport. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Trans-Inclusive Soccer Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitch-please.md) - [Square-Shaped Soccer Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unplayaball.md) - [Expansive Soccer Universes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerverse-boasts.md) - [Encapsulated Soccer Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-football-game.md) - [Logo-Centric Soccer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mls-season-pass.md) - [Creative Eerie-Themed Soccer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good.md) - [Unfolding Soccer Ball Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccer-ball-set.md) - [Soccer-Dribbling Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerdribbling-robot.md) - [Puzzle-Style Soccer Ball Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-my-football-kit.md)
