Nieve Petruzziello, our Double Tap creator has traveled over 8,000km from Manchester, UK to Orange County, California. Nieve enjoyed exploring the city, taking in the natural scenery, and getting to know the local football team while on Californian grounds.
Orange County SC
Orange County SC is based in the California city of Irvine and was founded in 2010. The club competes in the USL Championship, the fastest-growing second division of professional football in the world. The team’s home stadium is the Championship Soccer Stadium.
Nieve has visited the club’s facilities to learn about the local football scene. Throughout the day, she had the opportunity to interact with the players, staff and supporters at the stadium.
A day among the supporters left her surprised by the differences between European football and American soccer fans.
Become an owner of the Californian soccer club
For the first time, an American club will be offering UK football fans a chance to own a piece of their club. When Orange County SC faced the possibility of losing their home stadium, they decided to sell their shares to the general public. They received the necessary funds while fostering a closer connection with their supporters.
Nieve had such a great and memorable time visiting the club that she wanted to become an owner too. Our British creator now owns a portion of the Californian Soccer Club.
