The charge
The charge
A singular goal, still unconquered.
Valhalla FC was created with a singular goal: advance to the professional stage of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. That goal grows every year, with every win, until we become the top-tier professional club we are destined to be.
From a logo in 2018 to OVPL silverware, Amateur Cup quarterfinals, MASL3, and the Open Cup path — the hall keeps expanding. The war cry does not change.
