Locomotive FC

Before we say goodbye to one of the strangest, most eventful (or event-less) years we've had to experience, let's take some time to reflect back on what happened in sports during 2020.

Coronavirus cases and hospitalizations have reached an all-time high in El Paso following the news of 717 new COVID-19 cases and 373 hospitalized on Thursday morning.

As the coronavirus cases continue to rise in the city and throughout Texas, the El Paso Locomotive FC has decided to play without fans in the stands for their first two home matches.

In anticipation of the league's return-to-play on July 11, the USL league office and the USL Players Association reached a tentative agreement for the start of the season, reported ESPN.

FC Juarez soccer fans received promising news Wednesday, as the Liga MX 2020 Apetura is getting ready to kick off on July 24 behind closed doors, along with new playoff implications, as league president Enrique Bonilla announced via a video press conference.

As social media accounts have joined the movement to "Black Out Tuesday" across social media sites, local sports organizations, coaches and players have voiced their support for justice amid the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.

The coronavirus outbreak continues to have a ripple effect on sporting organizations on the national and local scales with constant cancellations or postponements.

Today, El Paso Locomotive FC signed Amber Berry, an 11-year-old warrior and patient of the Hospitals of Providence, to be the Locomotive Player for a Day. Berry has battled leukemia since Nov. 16, 2016, and has been through over 54 treatments following her diagnosis.

Through the month of May, Kiesewetter scored six goals in four games, which brings his total to nine goals in nine games. His valiant effort was enough to be named USL Championship’s Player of the Month.

Today members of MountainStar Sports Group unveiled their $3.25 million offseason renovations to the stadium, including redesigned hospitality areas, a retractable pitching mound, new locker rooms and a new spark to the stadium with the Locomotive FC fully integrated.
