Boca Raton Football Club is an American soccer club that started playing in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL). In 2015, which was their inaugural season, they were only defeated in one game and won the APSL championship and the APSL fall tournament.[1] The club currently plays in the PASL (Premier American Soccer League) and the FGCL (Florida Gold Coast League).
History[edit]
In 2013, the club was given the rights to a National Premier Soccer League franchise for Palm Beach County, Florida. The initial plans for the team fell through at the last minute and the NPSL franchise was put on hiatus for two years.
APSL awarded Boca Raton a franchise and the club was officially announced on January 20, 2015. On May 2, 2015, 2,130 fans at Boca Raton High School saw South Florida FC defeated 4–1.
Boca Raton went on a 9-game win streak to take both the 2015 APSL regular season title and championship.
Boca Raton FC began NPSL Sunshine Conference play in May 2017.
After a year-long break in 2020 due to COVID-19, Boca Raton FC started competing again in the FGCL and the PASL in 2021, with participation confirmed for the NPSL season as well.
