We heard today that two of the three primary soccer club programs in the metro area are merging. Check Tuesday’s sports section for more details on this surprising move. The following was announced today:

Two State Championship soccer clubs have formed an alliance, combining the talents of both clubs under the name Oklahoma Football Club (OFC). The alliance merges the competitive programs of the former rival clubs from the Edmond Soccer Club (ESC) and the North Oklahoma City Soccer Club (NOKC), creating a top class competitive soccer program to serve the Edmond and North Oklahoma City metro area.

“This summer will see both soccer clubs merge efforts to provide what we believe will be the best soccer opportunity in the state of Oklahoma”, said Russ Lissuzzo, OFC Board Member. “The merger of the soccer talent from both clubs provides the opportunity to better develop players at all levels.”
