History
[edit | edit source]Chula Vista FC was originally established as a youth soccer organization and added a senior team in 2011. The club's stated goal for the senior team is to provide a bridge between youth and professional soccer for players not in the college soccer system.[1] Notable players that went through the CVFC youth soccer system include Alejandro Guido, Paul Arriola, Joe Corona, Gabriel Farfan and Michael Farfan.[2] CVFC has played against other crosstown teams losing 3-1 in a friendly with North County Battalion and beating their rival Albion SC Pros 3-2.[3][4] Chula Vista FC aims to eventually have a team for all the United States Soccer Development academy ages and possibly move up to the NASL or USL.[5]
The club gained a measure of national acclaim for its performances in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup which included a road win over Arizona United SC, a professional club from the United Soccer League.[6] CVFC was eliminated in the second qualifying round of the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in a 4-0 loss against La Máquina FC at home.[7]
On August 25, 2021, the club was announced as a founding member of NISA Nation, a fourth-tier league, for its inaugural 2021 season.[8]
On September 22, 2019, Chula Vista FC faced city rivals Rebels Soccer Club in a Chula Vista Derby in the first qualifying round of the 2020 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Chula Vista FC drawing 2-2 and won 5-3 on penalties.[9]
