“This season has been surreal,” said Mustangs President and head coach Armando Gamboa, “Those close to me know all I do is eat, breathe and sleep soccer and to be blessed with this season has been a dream come true. As team president and head coach of this team, I know that the product on and off the field is my complete responsibility and I am so proud of all the hard work our players and front office staff have put into this season and in preparation for the 2014 Ron Newman Cup at the Sears Centre Arena.”

This season has been something special and has the opportunity to conclude in a way you only see on the big screen. With one game remaining the undefeated Mustangs Premier team is a lock for the PASL Premier playoffs and have the top seed in their sights. The undefeated Mustangs Pro team is the top seed in the Ron Newman Cup playoffs and have a bye to the semifinal. They now have a place in the U.S. Open Final, at a time and location to be determined by the tournament director in the near future. With just three more wins there will be a lot of hardware making it’s home at Grand Sports Arena, in the front office of the Chicago Mustangs Arena Soccer Organization.
