NY Renegades FC Ready to Break the Curse and Claim the Crown
The NY Renegades FC are charging into the conference playoffs with one mission on their minds — finally bringing home the national championship that has eluded them for years. After several close calls and heartbreaks, the squad enters this campaign with renewed belief that this could be the season they finish the job.
Founded in Hicksville, New York, the Renegades have grown from a local grassroots team into one of the region’s top amateur clubs, now competing in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL). The UPSL sits at the semi-professional level of the U.S. soccer pyramid, offering a national platform for ambitious clubs with professional aspirations. Since joining the league’s Premier Division, the Renegades have made a name for themselves as one of the most consistent and competitive teams in New York’s soccer scene.
The club’s rise has been steady and impressive. They captured the UPSL Division 1 Playoffs title in Fall 2022, topped their regular season that same year, and went on to win the UPSL Premier Regional Championship in 2023. Each achievement pushed the team closer to its ultimate goal: a national championship. Their success is built on a mix of discipline, community roots, and a strong locker-room culture that prioritizes unity and accountability.
“Our players and staff have worked incredibly hard all season,” said club president Boris Linares. “We know how tough the road to the title can be, but the energy and unity within this group make us believe that we can finally achieve what we’ve been chasing.”
This season, that belief feels different. The roster is balanced and motivated, guided by a coaching staff that has built a team identity around collective effort and relentless intensity. The leadership’s investment in player development, combined with the club’s growing fan base, has created an atmosphere that feels ready for something historic.
As the playoffs begin, the excitement is palpable. The Renegades’ supporters have followed the team’s journey from local fields to regional finals, and now, they sense the moment might finally have arrived. For years, the club has embodied New York’s grassroots spirit — tough, creative, and unafraid to dream big. Now, they’re aiming to turn that dream into a trophy.
With their eyes fixed on the national title, NY Renegades FC are ready to make history and prove that persistence, unity, and belief can take you all the way.
