Alianza FC, a new soccer club in Southwest Detroit, aims to showcase the rich talent of the local soccer community on the national soccer stage. The team will play in the United Premier Soccer League, which includes nearly 400 teams nationwide. Home games will be held at the Corner Ballpark, site of old Tiger Stadium at Michigan and Trumbull in Detroit, with the first game scheduled for Friday, April 21 at 8 pm. Tickets can be purchased at www.alianzafc.com.

Coaches Roberto Lucas, Eduardo Villagomez, and Marco Martin, along with local standout players such as Oscar ‘Cabezon’ Huerta, Christhian Bahena Chavez, Faiber Adrian Figueroa-Mendez, and Vicente Jaramillo, will be leading the team this season.

Additionally, Alianza FC has also recruited new professional-level talent, including Oscar Saavedra (formerly of Club Leon de Mexico), Nico Martinez (previously with Olimpia de Paraguay and Cerro Norte de Argentina), and local legend and Brazilian born Frederico Martins.

“I’m excited to play for my neighborhood club,” said defender Vicente Jaramillo. I’ve had the chance to play high level soccer across the region, and there is nothing that compares to the talent and passion and the players in Southwest Detroit. We’re really looking forward to competing and putting on a good show for the fans.”

Alianza FC will play in the Midwest East division of the UPSL this Spring 2023 season. Established in 2011, the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) has grown to become the largest and most competitive pro-development league in North America, with nearly 400 clubs competing nationwide. The Premier Division for Spring 2023 will see 255 clubs vying for 32 spots in the National Playoff Bracket to become the National Champion. Despite being a new club, Alianza FC welcomes the challenge of showcasing our local talent on the national stage.

Head coach Roberto Lucas seems ready to go. “I really like our team this year. We have a good mix of younger, talented guys with some more veteran, clinical players. We’ve been training since January for the season, and we’re looking to make a run at the playoffs this year.”

Alianza FC, in only its second year, aspires to be more than just a football club; they aim to foster a football community that instills pride in the local talent and soccer history of Southwest Detroit. The club is dedicated to making a positive impact in the community through various programs and events aimed at improving facilities, developing talent, and providing entertainment.

In 2022, Alianza FC sponsored free youth soccer clinics, and they hosted the Mexico vs. Honduras Legends game held at their home field. They also provided two local players with free admission to the Michigan State University college ID soccer camp, which has now put them on the radar of local college coaches, perhaps one day helping them earn a scholarship.

“We definitely want to be more than just a soccer team,” said Carlos Huerta, one of seven team owners of the club. “We want to develop young players and give them the chance to reach higher levels of soccer. We plan to build on our soccer clinics from last year and get more kids involved this summer. We also want to help with better soccer fields. We want to give the community something to be proud of.”

Fans can come out and support Alianza FC at The Corner Ballpark. Tickets and schedules can be found online at www.alianzafc.com, as well as at Taqueria El Nacimiento located at 7400 W. Vernor Hwy in Southwest Detroit or at the gate on game days. With tickets priced at only $8 for adults and free admission for kids under 8, Alianza FC promises a great night of quality soccer, food/drinks, and a family-friendly environment.

Follow Alianza FC on social media @LaAlianzaFC and join the conversation with hashtags #JuntosPodemos and #SomosLaAlianza. This fun, family event allows people a chance to come together to support our very own Alianza FC and celebrate the talent and spirit of Southwest Detroit!

Alianza FC arranca con su segunda temporada de fútbol destacando el talento local

Alianza FC, un nuevo club de fútbol en Southwest Detroit, tiene como objetivo mostrar el gran talento futbolístico de la comunidad local a nivel nacional. El equipo jugará en la United Premier Soccer League, que incluye a casi 400 equipos en todo el país. Los juegos en casa se llevarán a cabo en el Corner Ballpark, lugar donde se ubicaba el antiguo Estadio de los Tigres de Detroit, entre la Av. Michigan y la calle Trumbull, el primer partido está programado para el viernes 21 de abril a las 8 pm y los boletos se pueden comprar en www.alianzafc.com.

Los entrenadores Roberto Lucas, Eduardo Villagómez y Marco Martín, junto con destacados jugadores locales como Oscar ‘Cabezón’ Huerta, Christhian Bahena Chávez, Faiber Adrián Figueroa-Méndez y Vicente Jaramillo, lideraran el equipo esta temporada.

El club también ha hecho un gran esfuerzo reclutando nuevos talentos de nivel profesional como Oscar Saavedra (exjugador del Club León de México), Nico Martínez (quien jugaba en el Olimpia de Paraguay y Crucero del Norte de Argentina) y una leyenda local nacida en Brasil Frederico Martins, son algunos ejemplos.

“Estoy emocionado de jugar en el club de mi barrio”, dijo el defensor Vicente Jaramillo. He tenido la oportunidad de jugar fútbol de alto nivel en toda la región, y no hay nada que se compare con el talento, la pasión y los jugadores de Southwest Detroit. Tenemos muchas ganas de competir y darles un buen partido a los aficionados”.

Alianza FC jugará en la división Midwest East de la UPSL esta temporada de primavera 2023, que se estableció en 2011, la United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) ha crecido hasta convertirse en la liga más grande y más competitiva de desarrollo profesional de Norte América, con casi 400 clubes en todo el país. La Premier Division tendrá 255 clubes compitiendo por 32 lugares en el National Playoff Bracket para convertirse en el Campeón Nacional. A pesar de ser un club nuevo, Alianza FC está listo para el desafío y listo para mostrar todo el talento en este gran escenario.

El entrenador Roberto Lucas está listo para este desafío. “Me gusta mucho nuestro equipo de este año. Tenemos una buena combinación de muchachos jóvenes con futuro y algunos jugadores más avanzados con experiencia y talento. Hemos estado entrenando desde enero para la temporada, y estamos buscando entrar en los playoffs este año”.

Alianza FC, en apenas su segundo año, aspira a ser más que un club de fútbol; su objetivo es fomentar una comunidad futbolística que inculque el orgullo por el talento local y la historia futbolística de Southwest Detroit. El club quiere generar un impacto positivo en la comunidad a través de varios programas y eventos destinados a mejorar las instalaciones, desarrollar talentos y brindar entretenimiento a la comunidad.

En 2022, Alianza FC patrocinó clínicas gratuitas de fútbol juvenil y fueron anfitriones del juego de Leyendas México vs. Honduras, que se llevó a cabo en su cancha local. También se le proporcionó la entrada gratuita al campamento de fútbol de la Universidad Michigan State, a dos jugadores locales, que ahora los ha puesto en el radar de entrenadores universitarios, que quizás algún día les ayuden a obtener una beca.

“Definitivamente queremos ser más que un simple equipo de fútbol”, dijo Carlos Huerta, uno de los siete dueños de un equipo del club. “Queremos desarrollar jugadores jóvenes y darles la oportunidad de alcanzar altos niveles en el fútbol. Planeamos aprovechar nuestras clínicas de fútbol del año pasado e involucrar a más niños este verano. También queremos ayudar con mejores canchas de fútbol. Queremos darle a la comunidad algo de lo que estar orgulloso”.

Los fanáticos pueden salir y apoyar a Alianza FC en The Corner Ballpark en Michigan y Trumbull. Los boletos y los horarios se pueden encontrar en línea en www.alianzafc.com, así como en la Taquería El Nacimiento situada en 7400 W. Vernor Hwy en Southwest Detroit o en la entrada, el día del juego. El valor de la entrada es de tan solo $8 para adultos y gratuita para niños menores de 8 años, Alianza FC promete una gran noche de fútbol de calidad, comida/bebidas y un ambiente familiar.

Sigue a Alianza FC en las redes sociales @LaAlianzaFC y únete a la conversación con los hashtags #JuntosPodemos y #SomosLaAlianza. ¡Este divertido evento familiar permite que las personas se reúnan para apoyar a nuestra Alianza FC y celebrar el talento y el espíritu del Southwest Detroit!
