What an unforgettable season opener for our Empire FC squad!
We hit the road for our very first match of the Fall 2026 season against Alliance Beaumont at the Redlands Sports Complex. From the first whistle to the last, these players brought relentless energy, cheering each other on through every single minute. The scoreboard didn’t go our way today, but the grit, teamwork, and sheer joy out on the pitch showed what this team is truly made of.
Every great journey starts with a test, and today gave us so much to build on. The kids never hung their heads—they chased down loose balls, supported their teammates, and left the field with big smiles and post-game high fives. Matches like this are where real growth happens, and the fun has only just begun. We couldn’t be prouder of their effort—on to practice this week and ready for the next one! Go Empire!
