Mississippi Brilla are an American soccer team, founded in 2006. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and play in the Mid-South Division of the Southern Conference, against teams from Austin, Baton Rouge, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Laredo and New Orleans.
They play their home games at Robert P. Longabaugh Field on the campus of Mississippi College in the city of Clinton, Mississippi, 11 miles west of the state capital, Jackson.
The team is associated with the Brilla Soccer Ministries organisation, which is committed to sharing the message of Christianity through the environment of soccer, which is accomplished through sports ministry. The club’s name is derived from the Spanish word for "shine", and references the biblical passage Matthew 5:16 which says "Therefore, let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
