San Diego Soccer History - Part 3 (1914-1920): LGS Pod. Ep. 25.33
Send us a text
At the close of the 2012-2013 winter season, soccer was picking up in San Diego. Games were well attended and three locals teams dominated the adult scene: San Diego Soccer Football Club, the Nomads, and the team from Foster (the Fosters). The San Diego champions (SDSFC) even took on the LA Champions, LA Rangers (comprised of several former Glasgow Rangers players) in a battle for the champion of Southern California. Unsurprisingly, San Diego's team ended up on the losing side of that match (LAR 6-1 SDFSC).
Even with the loss to the LA Rangers, per newspaper accounts from the San Diego Sun, there's seems to be excitement around soccer in San Diego as teams and local civic leaders look toward the 2013-2014 winter season - specifically how to better complete against our neighbors up north. There's talk of forming a new soccer league and local businesses are willing to commission a trophy to award to the winners. However, what these leaders do not yet know is that San Diego is about to embark on some significant economic and civic challenges for the rest of this decade - primarily the opening of the Panama-California Exposition (and renaming of City Park) along with the US military preparation and involvement in WWI.
Will the nascent San Diego soccer scene be strong enough to survive these challenges?
Tonight, in PART 3 of our San Diego Soccer History series, John and Dylan will investigate those questions and more as they share what they've learned from their most recent research into our local soccer history.
. . . and, as always, we'll kick off the show with the latest cup, lower league, pro/rel, soccer history, and San Diego specific news.
