Club History
Founded in 1971, Maccabee Athletic Club quickly established itself as a powerhouse in American soccer. The club made history by winning the Triple Crown twice, in 1977 and 1978, capturing the Greater Los Angeles Soccer League, California State Cup, and the prestigious US Open Cup.
In 1974 and 1978, the club qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup, showcasing elite status on the international stage. One of the club’s greatest triumphs came in 1978, upon defeating Bridgeport Vasco da Gama at Giants Stadium in front of 30,000 fans, as part of a double-header alongside the legendary New York Cosmos and Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League.
After 1982, the club ceased professional operations, but our legacy never faded. Maccabee Athletic Club remained active, focusing on developing young players. Today, we continue this rich tradition under our new name: Maccabee Futbol Academy. Our vision is to build one of the best developmental clubs for young athletes, combining elite training with a strong foundation in teamwork, discipline, and excellence.
The name Los Angeles Maccabee FC remains part of our competitive identity, symbolizing our storied history and commitment to the future of soccer.
