(Via Sunrise Prime FC) – Football Club Prime and Sunrise Soccer Club have announced that the two youth soccer clubs signed an agreement to merge the clubs effective today, April 23rd, 2019.

See below for the official announcement, penned by Sunrise Prime FC Directors Alan Hough and Andres Camacho:

Dear FC Prime & Sunrise Soccer Club members,

We are excited to announce that the Board of Directors of Football Club Prime and Sunrise Soccer Club have signed an agreement to merge the two organizations. The clubs will both collaborate for the remainder of the current season and will conduct unified tryouts in early May.

After much discussion and a lengthy due diligence process, leadership from both organizations feel that it is in the best interest of all parties to operate as one club. Bringing together the two leading premier youth soccer organizations in the area creates multiple new avenues for all youth players within the soccer community. We will offer the only full-service program for girls in South Florida with ECNL, National League, NPL, Regional Leagues, FSPL and SFUSYA.

Please read what Board of Director at Sunrise Prime FC, Gustavo Camacho, had to say about the merger:

“Sunrise SC has a long-standing history of success in the South Florida market through hard work and a family-oriented environment. FC Prime in just a short time has shown the extreme eagerness to cultivate the same culture. We want both our memberships, and every family that considers playing at Sunrise Prime FC, to know that we have no intentions of slowing down. We will continue to tirelessly help our student athletes achieve their goals to play at the next level and beyond. Merging both Sunrise SC and FC Prime allows us build something that we ultimately couldn’t do alone. Both organizations will merge into one entity with the same goals and equal leadership.”
