Emotionally I find the separation from those I care about difficult to appreciate, but I inevitably try. Here’s my reflection on this beautiful journey.
All organizations, people, and things eventually break down, decompose, and have their parts recycled to create new ones, continuing the evolutionary process of life. In the world of soccer, San Diego Loyal has completed its role in the city’s football evolution. It’s natural to feel sadness when we see things we deeply care about come to an end; after all, we develop attachments to people, things, and organizations.
However, when we look at it from a broader perspective, it becomes apparent that the impact of San Diego Loyal on the local soccer community is truly remarkable and enduring. This team served as a vessel that not only brought beautiful memories, relationships, and recognition, but also raised awareness about the hidden soccer talents, fans, and community within our city. It showcased to the world that soccer was not just wanted but deeply deserved in our community.
In doing so, it opened doors to new dreams and possibilities, including the arrival of the NWSL and now the MLS. The everlasting impact of Andrew Vassiliadis and every person associated with this organization has left an indelible mark on our city. It’s a beautiful legacy that will forever be woven into the history of both our community and the beautiful game of soccer.
As a San Diegan, thank you to everyone that was part of this journey. You left a mark in me and this community. I am forever grateful.
🙌San Diego, We Are 🙌
