San Diego, America’s 8th largest city, has always been a passionate hub of soccer fans and bordering Tijuana, Mexico, residents of both countries flock across the international border to watch soccer with ease. The glorious Pacific Ocean graces the city and the average temperature is in the mid-sixties. Although it could be a sleepy resort town, San Diego is a thriving city with an energetic sports culture and a deep passion for the game of soccer.

Part of an international metropolitan area filled with 4.9 million people, San Diego has been a hotbed of youth soccer with tens of thousands of youth soccer players for decades and yet it has not had a professional soccer team — since the 1980s.

“1904 FC is the first professional soccer team in San Diego in over three decades.”

Alex Gontran, Head Coach of San Diego’s 1904 FC

Great soccer is not new to San Diego.

‘The city takes great pride in the professional indoor team, the San Diego Sockers who have won the title of National Champions 14 time as well as theNPSL team, ASC San Diego who also proudly play for and represent the city well. There was a major effort to kick off an MLS team in San Diego and recently, Landon Donovan announced a USL team will kick off in 2020, but 1904 FC is the first outdoor pro team to take to the grassy pitch this century.

1904 FC will compete in the new professional soccer league the new National Independent Soccer Association (NISA).

1904 FC’s Home Opener is Sep 14 • 7:04 PM at SDCCU Stadium
