Amateur Team El Farolito Shines in U.S. Open Cup

El Farolito, a historic San Francisco soccer club, continues to impress in the U.S. Open Cup, beating professional teams despite being an amateur outfit. Founded in 1983 by Salvador Lopez, the team has a rich history intertwined with the local community.

Building a Legacy

El Farolito's journey began over four decades ago when Lopez established both the restaurant and soccer team. The club quickly climbed the ranks, competing in the U.S. Open Cup and achieving success under the name Club Deportivo Mexico in 1993.

Rise to Prominence

Under the leadership of Santiago Lopez, El Farolito has made significant strides in recent years, reaching the third round of the Open Cup in consecutive seasons. Despite facing professional opponents, the team's passion for the game and strong community ties drive their success.

The Underdog Story

El Farolito's roster consists of players from diverse backgrounds, including painters, Uber drivers, and contractors, who play out of love for the game. The team's recent victories against MLS and USL clubs showcase their determination and team spirit.

With a family-oriented atmosphere both on and off the pitch, El Farolito embodies resilience and unity in the face of challenging odds, making their mark in American soccer history.
