A new soccer tradition is set to begin. After years of planning, a semi-professional men’s soccer team is set to begin play this weekend as Emporia FC makes its debut Saturday. For head coach Victor Ibarra, it is exciting to see a project that began over a decade ago finally come to fruition.
Forward and former Spartan player Elijah Williams says that he’s excited to be starting a new tradition.
Another former Spartan Alex Mosiman says the team has felt the support from the city.
The Black Lions will play their home games at Emporia High School and starts their United Premier Soccer League schedule against Inter Wichita FC at 7:00 p.m.
