RIVERSIDE – (INT) – The United Soccer League (USL) Wednesday announced its intent to bring professional men’s and women’s soccer to Riverside.

Riverside Pro Soccer and its partners have plans to construct a soccer-specific venue and explore opportunities for a larger destination that could bring restaurants, retail, housing, sports and community spaces to Riverside.

“As part of a fast-growing region with a passionate fan base and one of the strongest traditions of youth soccer in the country, Riverside is ready for a professional club to call its own,” USL Deputy CEO Justin Papadakis said.

Riverside Pro Soccer will serve as a true community asset to enhance quality of life and drive economic growth, Papadakis said.

Riverside Pro Soccer is led by Greg Scott, a local entrepreneur and 11-year resident of Riverside.
