United Premier Soccer League Announces Mesoamerica FC as Western Conference Expansion

LOS ANGELES - July 13, 2017 - PRLog -- The United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) is excited to announce Mesoamerica Futbol Club as a new member starting with the 2017 Fall Season.

Based in Los Angeles, Mesoamerica FC will begin UPSL play in the Pro Premier Division Western Conference.

United Premier Soccer League Commissioner Yan Skwara said, "When we talk about bringing in pro development teams with a pedigree of success, Mesoamerica Futbol Club is the kind of team we're talking about. Mesoamerica is a established competitive squad that has a very solid futbol footprint in the L.A. market with respect to its player base and club following. We pleased to have Mesoamerica become part of our Pro Premier Division as we want the most competitive teams to be part of our Fall Season coming forward. We wish Mesoamerica the best of success as a new member of the UPSL."

Mesoamerica FC is owned and operated by Daniel Garcia, 51, a Los Angeles-based CPA and realty broker. A native of Guatemala, Garcia was a competitive player in his home country before becoming a professional referee.

Mesoamerica FC Owner and General Manager Daniel Garcia said, "We recruit a lot of players that come from the Mexican academies, from Liga MX. Once they turn 20 and they don't make the first team then they get released. They call me, and we get players who are very experienced."

Created in 2000 and competing with many former Liga MX club academy players, Mesoamerica FC is the current champion in three different Los Angeles-area competitive men's open leagues as well as the defending champion of the prestigious Copa Alianza in San Bernardino, Calif.

"One of the most important things is being able to qualify for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup," Garcia said. "I waited a few years for the right time but I think we're ready."

The team is exploring venue options in order to comply with the UPSL's Minimum Standards. The club will announce its upcoming game schedule.
