“I have lived in this county for 14 years and I have worked across numerous organizations, teams, and clubs,” said Genesee F.C. Director of Operations Stevie Shard.
“I know how loved the game of soccer is here in Genesee.”
“For me, it’s been a dream to bring soccer at this level to Genesee and I am so honored to be welcomed into the league. Speaking for the club, and myself, we are looking forward to bringing soccer back where it belongs,” said Shard.
“Our market research indicated that there was a void and a desire for top-level soccer in the Flint area,” said UWS Commissioner Joe Ferrara, Jr.
