We're excited to add more quality organizations from North Carolina, and cities east of Raleigh are growing as soccer across the state continues to be huge. Bringing a team into the league from Goldsboro will connect the other teams from Raleigh to Greenville to South Carolina, so this is good for the league and we're excited about the Goldsboro Strike Eagles FC."

He has pursued his passion for soccer via coaching and has received several recognitions, including high school coach of the year and Inter Community coach of the year. Coach Hosvan, a native of Honduras, and Coach Pantoja, a native of Mexico, are soccer fanatics that will be contributing their soccer coaching skills to the Strike Eagles coaching staff. Goldsboro Strike Eagles FC Head Coach Niandou said, "We have a lot of talented players looking for a place to play after high school. These players don't always go to college and, if they do, then they need a place to play during the offseason. We have a lot of players that are looking for more exposure and want a place to showcase their talent. Our vision is to offer a platform for the players to continue building their soccer knowledge and to learn to work hard in a pro development organization so they can ultimately get the opportunity to play at the professional level."
