In the fall 2023 Stanford Strikers FC was founded with the merger of Alpine Strikers FC and Stanford Soccer Club. Independently, our clubs had distinguished histories, developing thousands of young soccer players and serving our local communities before the year 2000. Together, our combined resources have allowed us to offer dynamic best-in-class programs for the most competitive players to those who are just beginning their sport journey. In a youth sports landscape that often emphasizes winning above all else, we pledge to offer unsurpassed player-first development that is equally focused on providing a positive environment where life lessons are emphasized and life-long friendships are developed.

Thanks to the dedication of our players, the tireless efforts of our coaches, and the unwavering commitment of our families, Stanford Strikers FC has been accepted into the ECNL Regional League for Fall 2025 - just two years after our merger. This milestone is a powerful testament to the strength of our unified club and the decision to come together. It reinforces our commitment to supporting all players, from beginners to those competing at the highest levels, while continuing to build a strong, community-rooted soccer program for the future.

Stanford Strikers FC represents decades of experience in our local communities and a combined synergy where the new whole is greater than the sum of our former individual clubs. Our new club crest shows the shadow of the Phoenix rises from the combined history of our two former clubs. The mythical bird is used as a symbol for new beginnings, hope and positivity. The color gold in our crest represents the optimism of our home state of California while the red and black proudly display the legacy of our founding clubs.
