EPSC Recognized as Top 40 Club
The acclaimed Protagonist Soccer, whose mission to support local soccer clubs around the country, has selected the NY Pancyprian Freedoms as a top 40 club to invest in.
From Protagonist, “The world of soccer is no stranger to celebrity investment. The most recent investment from Ryan Reynalds and Rob McElhenney into Wrexham A.F.C sparked a national conversation about which teams this scenario could and maybe should happen for in the States…So we sat down as a staff and decided to try and answer the question: with the current professional standards requiring a club’s principal owner to have a net worth of no less than $10,000,000 USD, who would be the best potential candidate for such investment?”
Here is what they say:
34. NY PANCYPRIAN FREEDOMS (EPSL)
Hailing from Astoria, NY, a neighborhood of Queens NYPF is in one of the hotbeds of soccer. The club has access to top clubs from all over the pyramid and in multiple leagues and have begun to form relationships with its professional neighbors. The Pancyprian Freedoms are a club rooted in history. They have not only participated in the U.S. Open Cup, but they have also won it three times and even made it to the Semi-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The Cosmopolitan league is filled with clubs with a history of winning, but the 9-time champions will be carrying the torch as they move into EPSL. The club is also expanding its youth program with Eleftheria Pancyprians, a partner to professional side NYCFC, and the multiple reserve sides that will help create a pipeline for talented individuals from the community.
