The squad is back this Friday the 24th against the Tacoma Galaxy at 7PM on Ed Davison Field.

CFC Atletico, competing in USL League Two, started their season on the road with a 2-2 draw against West Seattle Junction - one of the divisions newest members. Their home-opener is this Sunday the 26th at 4PM on Ed Davison Field against the Tacoma Stars.

Both teams have brought in new talent from all over the country and represent many nations outside the US representing multiple divisions nationwide adding depth and a competitive nature to the upcoming season.

Returning for the women are the beloved Annouscka Kordom, Choi Rin, Millicent Hikuam, and homegrown stars Emilly Olvera, Alyisa Alvarado, and Maria Juarez.
