The club plays its home games at
Raimondi Park. Its colors are orange and black, drawing inspiration from
Águila of
El Salvador, with a secondary kit of all blue, taking after the
El Salvador flag and national team.
History
CD Aguiluchos USA was founded in 2012 as a tribute to
Águila of
El Salvador and as a community club for many players of Salvadoran descent in Northern California. In December 2012, the team announced that it would be joining the
National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), considered the fourth tier of the
American soccer pyramid and roughly equal to the
USL Premier Development League (PDL). The club would be coached by
Argentine and notable former
Águila player and manager,
Hugo Coria, who led the Salvadoran club to three major titles.[1]
The team played its first match on March 30, 2013; a 2–0 loss to
Real San Jose.[2] The team won its first competitive game on April 13, 4–0 at home over
San Francisco Stompers FC, with a
hat-trick by Jorge Ruiz and a lone goal by William Colocho.[3]
In March 2014, Aguiluchos USA defeated
Spartans Futbol Club 2–1, thanks to goals by Jorge Ruiz and former El Salvador international
Rudis Corrales, which helped them qualify to the
US Open Cup for the first time in the club history.[4]
Colors and crest
Aguiluchos USA home uniform mirrors that of the club it is named after,
Águila of El Salvador, with an orange shirt, black shorts, and orange socks. Aguiluchos USA has worn a variation of this kit since its inception, with slight variations in trim, stripe width, number of stripes, and other minor details. The club usually complements this with a white and orange away uniform, with an additional away kit that mirrors the
El Salvador national football team, with a blue shirt with white stripes, blue shorts, and blue socks.
The club badge features an eagle with two flags representing El Salvador and United States of America.
