February 5, 2021 – Los Angeles, CA – The United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) is pleased to announce Battle Born Futbol Club as its newest expansion club ahead of the Spring Season.

Based in Northern Nevada, Battle Born FC will begin UPSL play in the Western Conference Wild West Division. The club is finalizing its home venue ahead of the season.

UPSL Wild West Division Manager Will Bumgardner said, "I never could have imagined a scenario where we would have potential derby in Northern Nevada but I'm excited for this moment. Battle Born FC is led by a strong group and has the ability to be competitive right away. I look forward to seeing them play when the UPSL Western Conference is cleared to get started."

Andrew Robles is the Head Coach of Battle Born FC. A native of Los Angeles, Robles is a former Chivas USA (MLS) academy player and currently serves as the Northern Nevada ODP Coach. Frank Martinez, Ricardo Diaz and Tito Bonilla are Assistant Coaches. 

"There was a big-time vacuum created by the loss of Reno 1868 in this area, and in a year effected by COVID this was a necessary step for the community," Radow said. "A lot of players were left scrambling and a dream fades unless it's activated. We want to give local players that opportunity to play at a higher level, and the UPSL is super cool. We're in awe of the league's growth and we're excited to get started."

Fans and supporters are encouraged to contact TheInfantry@BattleBornFC.com.

The club will announce its upcoming game schedule.
