NPSL Soccer News: The National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) has announced City of Angels FC (Los Angeles, CA) as its most recent expansion team set to compete in the West Region’s Southwest Conference.
“We are thrilled to see the NPSL brand grow to include the LA market,” NPSL Chairman Joe Barone commented. “We are very excited about the direction of this new club and know that our fans and supporters will remember this day for many years to come.”
The club will be led by PJ Harrison and Joe Sumner.
“We know we’ll be starting from modest roots and it’ll take some time to really find what will set this team apart on and off the field, but that’s the great thing about the city of Los Angeles; it quickly shapes every newcomer in a profound way,” Sumner added. “The city has a deep sense of optimism and we want supporters to believe in the future of what this team could be, to become part of it and to help build it.”
Harrison is a creative director who has worked with legendary R&B musician Lauryn Hill and also served as a creative and branding consultant for Everton FC. Sumner is a musician and tech entrepreneur.
“The purpose of City of Angels FC is to reflect the area and its culture while being a proactive and inspiring part of the city with the local community at its heart and ultimately to provide a club culture the city can be proud of and one that can provide an alternative choice in the world-famous LA sporting landscape,” Harrison said. “There’s a world-class sporting heritage in Los Angeles and we want to write our own chapter.”
