The San Diego Football Club’s first home game will take place at the Snapdragon Stadium on March 1, 2025. I don’t know much about Major League Soccer, but I have contacts, and one close contact is Tom Penn, the CEO of the San Diego Football Club.
Mr. Penn said, “San Diego FC is a brand new expansion professional soccer team in Major League Soccer. We will compete against the best teams in America, Canada, and Mexico. In our competitions, we will play at Snapdragon Stadium. We will be the second major league professional men’s team in San Diego with the Padres in baseball.”
Penn also explained how Right to Dream and Sycuan are involved. “San Diego FC is partnered with Right to Dream, which is a network of youth development clubs in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Newly added is Right to Dream in San Diego. Right to Dream offers unique scholarships and opportunities to talented youth soccer players, boys and girls, to attend the Right to Dream school and have an immersive experience at a residential academy. At Right to Dream, we will develop the best players in North America to play professionally or attend college on full scholarships. This will happen on the Sycuan tribal reservation as we’ve converted the Singing Hills Golf Resort Hotel into our Right to Dream Academy and performance center.”
I am excited about this new major league professional sports team in San Diego. Last year, I was able to attend a football (soccer) match, and the energy from the crowd was so intense. Hopefully, San Diego will have a winning team!
