''Las Vegas Lights FC first took to the soccer field in 2018 as an expansion team for USL Championship soccer. This is one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing professional sports leagues in the world. The Lights hired one of the most decorated players in US soccer history, Eric Wynalda, to coach the team. In its short history, the team has been known for putting a lot of effort into player development. Even training camps are hard-fought, with contracted players facing challenges from players on trials. The Lights have scouted around the world to bring the best players to Vegas. Before the arrival of the Las Vegas Lights FC, Las Vegas was regarded as outside the mainstream of the soccer world. Today, the team is determined to change that with their high level of play. The team posted eleven wins and eight ties in 2019. Get your tickets to see Las Vegas Lights FC at StubHub.'
