Meeting Speaker for July 15, 2013 - Warren Smith

(Mayor Johnson & Warren Smith)

“Sacramento is one of the strongest soccer regions in the country,” said Warren Smith, founder of Sacramento Professional Soccer, LLC. “We already have numerous professional soccer players that are from Sacramento, or make their home here. It is time for the people of Sacramento to have the opportunity to watch them play on the national stage and to show the rest of the world that the Sacramento area is a great soccer region.”
The newly formed team is slated to begin play in 2014.

“Sacramento is a community that’s demonstrated an unwavering commitment to amateur and professional sports time and time again,” said Steve Hammond, president & CEO of the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Smith has experience bringing sports to the Sacramento-area. He helped bring the Sacramento River Cats to West Sacramento. City officials and leaders hope this team will help showcase Sacramento as a sports city.
