THE FOOTBALL CLUB OF FALL RIVER
FALL RIVER FOOTBALL CLUB WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1921, WHEN THE CLUB STARTED COMPETING IN THE AMERICAN SOCCER LEAGUE (ASL), THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT SOCCER LEAGUE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE GREAT DEPRESSION SEVERELY AFFECTED THE STABILITY OF CLUBS IN THE ASL, AND SEVERAL CLUBS MERGED, RELOCATED OR DISAPPEARED BY 1933.
SOCCER WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO THE CITY OF FALL RIVER IN 1880'S BY IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND AND POPULARIZED BY IMMIGRANTS FROM PORTUGAL DECADES LATER. THE SOCCER CLUBS FROM THE CITY WERE EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL IN THE 20TH CENTURY - WINNING LEAGUES, AMATEUR CUPS, NATIONAL CUPS AND SENDING PLAYERS TO WORLD CUPS TO REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL TEAM.
FALL RIVER FOOTBALL CLUB WAS RE-ESTABLISHED IN 2019 AND OUR GOAL IS TO BRING BACK THE CULTURE, EXCITEMENT AND SUCCESS FOR LOCAL SOCCER THAT ONCE EXISTED IN FALL RIVER.
