Reno 1868 FC (12-7-10, 46 points) hosts Rio Grande Valley FC (6-11-13, 31 points) at 6:45 p.m. in a showdown that could dictate Reno’s path to the USL Cup playoffs. Reno is now just seven points away from clinching a spot in the playoffs with five matches left. Should Reno clinch, it’d be the second trip to the playoffs in as many years. The club sits in eighth place in the USL’s Western Conference following a 3-3 draw against in-state rival Las Vegas Lights FC Saturday. Reno took home the Silver State Cup on points (5-2). Led by forward Brian Brown (14 goals), Reno will look to top a team it hasn’t beat in the past two meetings. The last time these clubs met in McAllen, Reno was held to a 0-0 mid-day draw against the Toros during an early morning contest. Now Brown and the Reno squad will look to capitalize on homefield advantage. Brown is just two goals away from becoming Reno’s all-time leading scorer, currently held fellow Jamaican forward Dane Kelly (18, 2017) Reno does have past success against RGVFC as it topped the club 3-2 at Greater Nevada Field in 2017. However the Toros are 1-0-1 in the last two meetings and are unbeaten in their past three matches, including a Sept. 8 win over title contender Real Monarchs SLC. Aldo Quintanilla, Jesús Enríquez and Todd Wharton all lead the club with five goals each this season. Tickets for Wednesday’s match can be purchased at Reno1868FC.com/tickets or at the Greater Nevada Field ticket office. Injured Players: Danny Musovski (lower body injury) What: Reno 1868 FC v.

You Make Our Hometown Renown Official Insurance Plan and Healthcare Partners WESTERN CONFERENCE STANDINGS EASTERN CONFERENCE STANDINGS 7 8 9 10 RENO TO PLAY IN USL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2019 TAMPA, Fla. – On a historic day for the evolution of soccer in North America, the United Soccer League has unveiled a new structure and brand identity for each of its top three leagues ahead of the 2019 season. “Today’s announcement comes at the dawn of an exciting new era for our sport,” said USL CEO Alec Papadakis. “The USL has spent the past eight transforming our league to meet the evolving needs of our team owners, players, coaches, fans and partners. We have established our place in the U.S. soccer landscape while blazing the trail for professional soccer’s future by introducing a new third division, completing the nation’s professional soccer structure.” “We are bringing three leagues under one central brand that will uniquely represent the USL’s vision for the future and give rise to local passion in new cities currently without professional soccer. The new brand and logos are inspiring and convey a new direction. They are innovative and modern and tell a story but more importantly, refuse to let others define us. The USL will now be modelled after a tried and respected international structure. One central brand, three leagues: the USL Championship – the pinnacle of competition; USL League One – the foundation of professional soccer; and, USL League Two – the Path to Pro. “We are repositioning the competition under MLS with a new strategy, new names and logos,” concluded Papadakis. “As we look to the future, the USL is ready to put its fingerprints on U.S. Soccer’s drive toward becoming the best in the world, and its pursuit of winning a FIFA Men’s World Cup.” The new structure and branding will go into effect in advance of the 2019 season, at which point the USL will also unveil a modernized league website in order to showcase new, engaging digital content and help to better tell the organization’s story as it continues to push the limits of what is possible for professional soccer in North America. The pinnacle of competition – the USL Championship features a new gold design and represents the ultimate goal for players, coaches, fans and commu- nities, all of whom aspire for excellence both on and off the field. The USL Championship is one of the most successful professional soccer leagues in the world, reaching a population of more than 84 million across more than 35 markets in 2019, and fueling the growth of the game across North America. At its core, the Championship is community. It’s the commitment of passionate and financially secure owners and talented players to embrace their hometowns, to create opportunity and to grow together through the beautiful game. The foundation of professional soccer – USL League One makes its mark with a vibrant, colorful identity, as it gears up for its debut in the 2019 season with league leadership and ownership that will forge a unique identity – driven by determination, unity and inspiration. League One brings discovery – delivering professional soccer to communities without a team, offering the first chance for new fans to dance and sing for 90 minutes, to fall more in love with the game every single week. League One also provides the opportunity and the first step in the professional ranks for players and coaches yearning to climb and pursue their dreams. 11 RENO TO PLAY IN USL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2019 The #Path2Pro – the PDL will become USL League Two – the elite pre-professional tier in North American soccer and the established developmental platform for U-23 and collegiate players, fans and communities. Maintaining its heritage with a bold, red logo, League Two will continue to forge the game’s future, delivering the first taste of premier compe- tition in an authentic national soccer environment with a hyper-local focus. It is the gateway to stardom for those who prove they belong and have the desire to advance into the professional ranks, providing more than 70 percent of players selected in the MLS SuperDraft over the past eight years. 12 THE MOST REFRESHING FINISH ©2018 COORS BREWING CO., GOLDEN, CO TEAM #1 RUSSELL KLABOUGH (GK) Klabough, 27, spent a majority of last season on Reno’s practice squad, but started in a 6-1 win over Portland Timbers 2.

  • Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction?
    Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction? Glen ME Duerr Department of History and Government Cedarville University 104 HRS, 251 N. Main Street Cedarville, Ohio, USA 45314 [email protected] RASAALA, Vol. 5, No. 1 (2014) 1 Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction? Abstract This paper examines the interrelated issues of time and money in club and international football. Specifically, the focus is on small Caribbean countries and territories that are rich in talent, but poor in opportunities. In the past decade, several professional teams in the Caribbean have played in the minor league system in North America, but have been stifled by several factors. This paper argues that the creation of a ‘Caribbean division’ that plays in either the North American Soccer League (NASL) or United Soccer League (USL)-Pro league would enrich and develop teams and players from all parties involved, and they would be more competitive in FIFA World Cup qualifying. The key ingredient is correctly timing such a venture. Keywords: Caribbean, soccer, North America, USL-Pro, NASL RASAALA, Vol. 5, No. 1 (2014) 2 Introduction Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), the regional governing body of soccer in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, sends three and a half teams to the quadrennial FIFA World Cup. The fourth-placed CONCACAF team plays a home and away playoff series against a team in another region, either in Asia, South America or Oceania, depending on the rotation. On every occasion since the number of berths was expanded to three in 1998, the United States and Mexico have taken two of the berths.

Kickoff for the Western Conference showdown is set for 6:45 p.m. Both clubs, who met in the 2017 USL Cup Playoff times enter Saturday’s match after relatively cold starts to the season. For Reno, the club notched its first win of the 2018 season last Saturday after a thrilling 2-1 come- back over Portland Timbers 2. Reno’s leading scorer Danny Musovski scored both goals in the win as Reno hopes for another mid- season turnaround, similar to 2017’s inaugural season. Energy FC started off 2018 with a win but have lost five-straight matches as the club has dealt with a rash of injuries. OKC’s leading scorer from 2017, Jose Angulo, is expected to return to the lineup after a brief injury spell. Saturday’s match is a rematch of the 2017 USL Cup Playoff match that OKC took 1-0 to knock Reno out of the Western Conference quarterfinals. OKC leads the all-time series 2-1 (series tied 1-1 in the regular season).
