August 7, 2023.  "I believe it was the largest turnout for this event in our Club history." - Pres. Sean Ingersoll

It was a mild August 5th, 2023 Saturday at Lents Park. Well over 120 participants and families gathered. At times, four 8x8 'Cup' matches were underway simultaneously. Welcome guests from Mojo's and Viet Canyon in attendance. Barbeque, hamburgers and sides, the official foodstuffs, served up to all comers. Glenn's beverage cart dispensing the needed electrolytes. Needless to say, another very well-organized (Thanks to our board!) gathering of the Club.

It is a mere 46 years after one particular cluster of Portland Parks summer-league players each thought, "Hey, I'm younger than Pele; let's form a rec team and play this fall!" That crucial bit of hubris has ultimately led to 10 FC77 men's teams slated play in GPSD's 2023 Fall Season.

The natural tendency towards soccer-team entropy has been staved off, once again, by the efforts and enthusiasm of our Club team managers. The result is was a gathering of the clan where we could all see how many people are positively affected and gain real enjoyment from our soccer fellowship. On to Fall Season 2023!
