LOS ANGELES - Jan. 10, 2017 - PRLog -- United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) is pleased to announce that El Salto United Football Club will join its Arizona Conference for the Spring 2017 Season. The conference now has five clubs confirmed.

Bringing together three local clubs -- El Salto, AZ United FC, and Tiburones -- the brand-new organization has a committed group to lead it to success. Co-owners Jonathan Garcia and Alfonso Vazquez will share duties as head coach, with Ruben Gerardo assisting. Co-owner José Vazquez will serve as Media Coordinator, while Juan Bautista and Carlos Medivil will handle recruitment.

They're not stopping with the adult team, though. Said José Vazquez, "Our goal is to start what will become the El Salto United FC youth soccer academy that will serve underprivileged youth in Phoenix with the opportunity to play club soccer. We believe we can provide young athletes the proper tools to become successful players on and off the field. Economic barriers continuously prevent youth from reaching their dreams. El Salto United FC is committed to helping those athletes reach their goals."

"El Salto is the kind of club that our league and our country can look to," UPSL Commissioner Yan Skwara said. "These guys had the vision and the courage to band their local teams together in search of a higher level of play, and managed to bring it all to fruition in a very short period of time. We're fortunate to have El Salto in our league, and we look forward to seeing what they deliver on the pitch."

The club is currently exploring potential venues in Peoria, Ariz. and Glendale, Ariz.

About El Salto United FC

El Salto United FC was created through the collaboration of three prominent teams: El Salto, AZ United FC, and Tiburones. What brought these three teams together was the ultimate goal of providing talented players the support to continue their development. Playing in the UPSL will give our players the opportunity to play at a competitive level while dreaming of playing in a higher division one day. Playing the game of football brings us together at El Salto United FC; it's a brotherhood, one family.
