Several soccer fields in the South Bay could soon be re-zoned and turned into mixed-use housing. That means the Eastlake Soccer League needs to find a new play to place. South Bay soccer is booming. When Anwar Nash took over the Eastlake Soccer League five years ago, there were 15 teams. Today, he has more than 300 teams, from toddlers through adults. “We started getting attention from the people, word of mouth. Now we're one of the biggest leagues in San Diego," Nash said. The teams play on the soccer fields beside the Otay Ranch Town Center. "We bring a lot of people to this mall and to the stores around this area. From all the people that come and play here, from here they go and shop there or they have a drink or they eat," Nash said. Nash started renting the land from Brookfield properties. Brookfield owns the mall and the land for the soccer fields. They told Nash that one day Brookfield would redevelop the open space.
