AV ALTA FC

AV ALTA FC is a United Soccer League expansion franchise with plans to launch a mens USL League One team and a womens USL W-League team in north Los Angeles County in 2025. Anchored by the cities of Lancaster and Palmdale, the Antelope Valley - also known as the Aerospace Valley - is a growing metro of 500,000 people and a youth soccer hotbed. Founded by sports industry veteran John Smelzer, AV ALTA FC will play its matches in Lancaster Municipal Stadium, to be converted from its current baseball configuration to a 5,300 seat, soccer-specific stadium. When completed, the stadium will be only the fourth professional soccer-specific stadium in Southern California. The mission of AV ALTA FC is to create opportunity and civic pride for the entire Antelope Valley
