While building a trophy-winning adult side the Stars have also been creating a dynamic youth academy for boys and girls.

One of the Seattle Stars owners, Margarito Avila, is ready for the new test the EPLWA will bring.

“Seattle Stars FC want to join this league because it is the type of league that we were expecting to have in our area, and also because we believe that it is a serious project and we want to do our part to make this thing happen.” says Avila.

The Stars will have instant rivals to the south. Seattle’s roster contains players on the All Nations Cup Champion Team Mexico side and also other countries. Team Mexico has ousted Team USA, stocked with South Sound FC guys, two years in a row on the way to taking the Open Division. The Stars also feature players with roots in Russia, the Ukraine, the USA and Romania.

“The Seattle Stars are going to bring a level of talent, flair and entertainment to the Evergreen Premier League that fans are going to appreciate,” says league coordinator David Falk. “Having them in our league is a great thing for us.”

Earlier the Evergreen Premier League announced the acceptance of Bellingham United, South Sound, and Wenatchee United.
