Frontera United Join UPSL to Become Fourth Club in Arizona
The UPSL has expanded its league in the Arizona market as it welcomes Frontera United from Yuma for the upcoming 2016 season. The UPSL has become the fastest growing Pro Development League in the United States with 40 teams currently operating in Southern California and a total of 50 teams targeted to compete in the 2016/2017 season.
Soccer News: The United Premier Soccer League announced its newest member team entry to the UPSL Arizona Conference, Frontera United. Frontera United is an established Pro Soccer Development club based in Yuma, Arizona and is now the fourth club in the Arizona market to join the UPSL. The UPSL is targeting an 8-12 team winter conference division to match its team memberships in conferences in California and Nevada.
Frontera United Co- Owner John Godfrey said, “We are very excited to become part of the UPSL for the upcoming 2016 Spring Summer season and also to participate in the U.S Open Cup Qualifying Rounds. We know the UPSL is very tough competition as the league has now expanded into three states with over 40 teams. Frontera United will be working closely with the soccer community in Yuma and looking forward to working with all the talented players we have here in our community.”
United Premier Soccer League Commissioner Yan Skwara said. “We are very excited to announce the new entry of Frontera United to the Arizona Conference. It takes time to build a conference. We want to have the right base ownership groups, so having Frontera become part of the league is a very good fit at this time as Frontera United is a well-organized Pro Development club that has worked hard the past year to put itself in a position to launch its club into the UPSL. The club will be playing in a standout out facility in Desert Sun Stadium which has a seating capacity of 7500 which will be one of the best stadiums in the league from both a playing perspective and from a fan perspective. We look forward to working with Frontera United into 2016 and beyond.
The UPSL now consists of five conferences spanning across Southern and Central California, Arizona and Nevada; which include Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, Santa Clarita Valley, Kern County and the Inland Empire.
