Tucker said, " We have been working on this for about 5 years.  I am so exicted to be involved in something that gives this city another family friendly sporting event!"

FC Amarillo will play in what will be called the U.S. Arena Soccer League.  Teams will be based in Texas and other parts of the midwestern United States.

West Texas A&M women's head soccer coach Chad Davis will coach the team. He already has a core group of players in place, some of whom played at WT.
