Mississippi Brilla

Mississippi Brilla is an American soccer club based in Jackson, Mississippi, United States. Founded in 2006, the team plays in the USL Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, in the Southeast Division of the Southern Conference.

The team plays its home games at Harper Davis Stadium, where they have played since 2010. The team's colors are pale blue, dark blue and white.

Brilla is associated with Brilla Soccer Ministries, an organization which undertakes sports ministry to share Christianity through the sport. 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."

Although the club initially struggled in the middle of their conference standings, Brilla have recently become one of the strongest PDL franchises in the Southeast on the pitch, winning the conference regular season title every season since 2009. In 2011, the club had their best showing in the playoffs, reaching the conference finals.
