Erin Fahey was an all-state goalkeeper on Salpointe Catholic's undefeated state champions of 1990, who went on to be an All-American at Portland and a professional goalkeeper for the WUSA Washington Freedom.
She later married Michael Emenalo, head of Tucson Youth Soccer and a long-time pro soccer player. He is now the director of the Saudi Pro League, fronted by the same group that funds the LIV golf organization. His goal is to get the Saudi's into the elite European Soccer Leagues.
After receiving official confirmation that Tucson would no longer host Iran's World Cup team, Pima County officials are focusing on the positive.
Erin and Michael's sons have done well in sports since leaving Tucson. Sebastian, who played in an 18-U pro basketball league in Australia, is now a sophomore basketball letterman at Loyola of Maryland. His brother, Landon, is a pro soccer player for Chelsea FC; he just signed a contract through 2031.
