Our first nominee for the 2025 Club of the Year is Sporting CT of the WPSL. The club dominated their regular season, before putting on a real show in the playoffs, outscoring their four opponents 19-2. These queens deserve a vote for their stellar season. www.protagonistsoccer.com/coverage/202...

Tampa Bay! We coming for you!

Get it! Lots of good stuff! Let’s get back to reading paper.

In 2019, it was Pensacola FC of @wpslsoccer.bsky.social. “The best soccer played in this country is played by women. And, if that is a fact, then Pensacola FC is one of the best amateur clubs in the world, certainly the best amateur club in the country.” www.protagonistsoccer.com/features/cot...

In 2018, Inocentes FC (UPSL) won the first award. “This is what local soccer is about; tying the club to the community. Inocentes is supported because generations of players have worn the name and familial roots have grown deep into local neighborhoods.” www.protagonistsoccer.com/end-of-the-y...

Next week we announce our nominations for Protagonist Soccer Club of the Year. As we head towards Monday, let’s celebrate our previous winners who’ve hoisted the award for best lower league soccer club in the United States!
