ORANGE COUNTY SOCCER CLUB CONDEMNS LA GALAXY BID FOR CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER STADIUM
Next week Irvine City Council will consider a proposal that could evict Orange County Soccer Club from Championship Soccer Stadium and give exclusive rights to the venue to LA Galaxy for use by their Division 3 developmental team.
“Our club is built in Irvine, 100% Orange County proud and now under attack. We are stunned and extremely disappointed by yesterday’s news that the city could undo all the great work we have done in soccer and in the local community in Orange County,” OCSC owner James Keston said. “OCSC has called Championship Soccer Stadium home for the past five years. It is where fans have come together to watch our team represent their community, where we have won trophies, and where local players have realized their dreams as they have risen from the academy to the pros and on to some of the largest clubs in the world.”
