Interview Series: Abraham Navarro - A.N Pickups, Street FC, and the Love of the Game

Pick Up Soccer is thriving in Baltimore.

I met Abe back in 2022 as we prepared for the World Cup Pop Up party at SoFive Columbia. Abe and his brothers, Alex and Alberto, brought infectious enthusiasm to the project and a connection to a growing community of ballers in the Baltimore area.

Abe and his brothers started A.n Pickups as a way to bring together high level ballers for pick up games. Their "Moose Mondays" has turned into a soccer phenomenon, with hundreds of ballers coming out to the Moose Athletic Facility to work on their skills in a friendly, but competitive environment. Additionally, Abe works as a City Manager for Street FC for the city of Baltimore. Street FC was started by former USMNT player, Kyle Martino, and is a pick-up Futsal/Soccer app that offers pick-up games daily in the Baltimore area.

We talk about Abe's current projects, a bit about his beloved Arsenal (boo!), and what the future has in store for Abe. Great guy!
