Attorney Andrew S. Paine to Compete at the 2024 Amputee Soccer Gold Cup in Honduras
We are excited to announce that Tressler attorney Andrew S. Paine has once again been selected to represent Team USA as a member of the U.S. Men’s National Amputee Soccer Team. The team will travel to Honduras to take part in the inaugural Gold Cup tournament in November. The U.S. will compete against Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
“In March of 2022, I was in a snowmobile accident that resulted in significant injuries, including the amputation of my right leg just above the knee,” said Andrew Paine. “Now, a little more than two years later, I am once again humbled and honored to represent the United States as a member of the U.S. National Amputee Soccer Team. Thank you all for your immense generosity and support.”
Tressler LLP is proud to support Andrew and the American Amputee Soccer Association (AASA), and the firm has donated $1,000 to the AASA's Gold Cup fundraising campaign.

About the American Amputee Soccer Association
The American Amputee Soccer Association has dual missions. One mission is to promote and develop the sport for the benefit of participants with limb differences. The Association accomplishes this through outreach programs at the local levels to help interested players become introduced to the sport, maximize their proficiency, build self confidence, learn the power of teamwork and build a strong social network. The AASA's second mission is to select, develop and train elite amputee soccer athletes to represent the United States in international competition. Click here to learn more.
