The USFC stands for United Sherpa Football Club. The club was established by Mr. Chhiring Namgyal Sherpa and Mr. Ang Sangbu Sherpa in New York in 2012 with a mission “to unite the Himalayan communities, and build strength and friendship among them”. Its motto is “Unity, Strength, and Friendship for the community”.
The club has more than 100 players ages ranging from 5 to 16. USFC is a soccer club affiliated to United Sherpa Association but independently managed by volunteers and professionals. USFC is open to all the Himalayan communities and doesn’t discriminate anyone. Apart from training sessions and practices on Friday evenings, and Sunday mornings, USFC also participates in leagues and tournaments. The club has participated in Metrokids IRSL league in fall 2016 and achieved remarkable result. Our U9, U13, and U15 were second, third, and fourth respectively in their categories. The club also participated in Queens Soccer Foundation indoor league 2017. Our U12 team was champion of indoor league 2017. The club has made huge achievements within a short period of time. The credit goes to the coaches, volunteers, players, parents and the management team.
