Hakoah All-Stars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the spring of 1926, the all-Jewish Hakoah soccer club from Vienna toured the United States, playing the best clubs in the country. After the tour, many of the players from the team, impressed with the relative lack of anti-Semitism, decided to stay in the country and signed with many of the top clubs.
