Boca Raton Football Club is an American amateur soccer club currently playing in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL). In 2015, which was their inaugural season, they were only defeated in one game and won the APSL championship and the APSL fall tournament.[1]
History
In 2013, the club was given the rights to a National Premier Soccer League franchise for Palm Beach County, Florida. The initial plans for the team fell through at the last minute and the NPSL franchise was put on hiatus for two years.
APSL awarded Boca Raton a franchise and the Club was officially announced on January 20, 2015. On May 2, 2015, 2,130 fans at Boca Raton High School saw South Florida FC defeated 4-1.
Boca Raton went on a 9-game win streak to take both the 2015 APSL regular season title and championship.
Boca Raton FC began NPSL Sunshine Conference play in May 2017.
