Published Jul 1, 2024

LAS VEGAS (July 1, 2024) – One of the best amateur teams in the Southwest just keeps getting better.

Las Vegas Legends FC, NISA Nation National Championship Finalists last year, are the 2024 Southwest Region Spring Season champions.

Led by Elijah Rice and David Villanueva, Las Vegas Legends FC (10-0-0 overall) recorded the first perfect NISA Nation campaign to date and will represent the Southwest Region in the upcoming NISA Nation National Playoffs.

"I think Las Vegas Legends FC has proved, time and again, that they are a top amateur side on the West Coast," NISA Nation National Director Matt Morse said. "They won last year's NISA Nation West Regional and came really close to winning the national title. This could be their year. Again, they're as good as any team at this level in the country."

Las Vegas Legends FC earned a 1-0 victory over FCGS Force, the three-time reigning Southwest Region champion, on the final day of the regular season to claim the title. The club advances in the NISA Nation National Playoffs to play an opponent to be determined.
