LOS ANGELES - Aug. 18, 2017 - PRLog -- The United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) is excited to announce Football Club Nevada as a new member starting with the 2018 Fall Season.

Based in Las Vegas, FC Nevada will begin UPSL play in the Nevada Conference.

United Premier Soccer League Commissioner Yan Skwara said, "We're very excited to welcome FC Nevada to the UPSL's Nevada Conference. Owner 'Lico' Dos Santos is renowned in both North and South American for his contributions to the game, and we can't wait to see him bring his Brazilian style of futbol to the league. We know that he'll put a quality brand on the field and work with Brazilian communities, both here and abroad, to enhance the UPSL's standing. We wish FC Nevada the best as it prepares to enter the UPSL in 2018."

FC Nevada is owned by Las Vegas resident Reinilson 'Lico' Dos Santos. A former professional player and native of Brazil, Dos Santos is a professional player agent.

FC Nevada Owner and General Manger Reinilson 'Lico' Dos Santos said, "For me to be able to create FC Nevada it is very exciting. The UPSL is the right place to start, and for us to bring our style of 'jogo bonito.' Our team will have a lot of Brazilian players and we want to bring the Brazilian philosophy to the club."

Dos Santos, 51, last played for the now defunct Minnesota Thunder (USL). He currently owns a USSF National 'C' Coaching License.

"We've nicknamed FC Nevada 'The Goats,' because we want to be on top of the UPSL mountain," Dos Santos said. "The goat, he owns the mountain. He's not afraid to go up and down the mountain, and neither are we. The Goats are on the move!"

The team is exploring venue options in compliance with the UPSL's Minimum Standards. The club will soon announce its upcoming tryout schedule.
