What happened to VDA they needed, PWSI, VSA?

What happened to Loudoun? They needed Valor and GFR.

What happened to Richmond United? They needed Richmond Kickers and Strikers.

What happened to FCV? They needed Ashburn, South County, and a gym.

Quality over Quantity perhaps?

There's just more options to play surrounding them.

Simple. Talent consolidation. The DMV is terribly diluted. NOVA can't support 5 ECNL clubs while also adding now 3 GA options and remain competitive on a national stage.

ECNL is only aggressively expanding and taking GA clubs to kill of GA. Once GA is no longer a credible threat ECNL will then prune the vines through the use of the Regional league for underperforming clubs.


If the soccer ecosystem was this organized like a corporate takeover you are describing sure, but soccer is far from that organized or planned out as you are suggesting this current ECNL takeover to be. GA is fine, you will see

Confirmed 😂. Nothing is confirmed until it's public. If this happens that's less local games for these clubs up here.

That would make it a McLean/vienna/BRYC situation?

Would be interesting because on the RL front, BRYC and Villareal have a setup where one handles boys and one handles girls.
