club history

Established in 2022 as an alliance between New River United and Valley United, our club was created to continue the mission of 'Soccer for All'. We believe that creating space for players at every level is important to our region and the creation of this partnership is just the first step. For the 2023-24 season, we proudly announced the addition of VBR Star.


With access to the most competitive league within our state, the Virginia Premier Soccer League (VPSL), we have formed our first set of combined teams that participate in the ECNL-Regional League as part of US Club Soccer. As our club continues to grow and evolve, we hope to provide opportunities for players of all ages and ability levels to play soccer within the social and emotional benefits of sports participation. 


Our mission is to prepare each participant with knowledge of how to be the best player on the field and to develop individuals with character, able to positively impact local communities and beyond. The cornerstone of making this vision a reality is an enduring need to create a strong sense of culture, which is why we place a strong emphasis on creating a positive environment within our club for all of our players and families, constantly striving to improve based on parent and stakeholder feedback.


This culture is not possible without the core values that are the foundation of who we are and what we want to be: community, trust, respect, excellence, and commitment.

club philosophy

We positively impact the development of our players by providing fulfilling opportunities to create a lifelong passion for soccer through the understanding and practice of the lifelong rewards of our core values: community, trust, respect, commitment, and excellence.


● We foster an environment that allows each player to experience the rich benefits of competition and participation, and the challenge of improvement with an enduring willingness to learn.


● We encourage, inspire and empower each player to reach the highest level possible within the game through our developmental framework, while helping to create leaders and individuals that will inspire others to do the same.

our leagues

Virginia United Futbol Club has teams in two leagues:

Both are governed by U.S. Club Soccer

  1. Our ECNL Regional League (RL) team offers the highest level of play for our club in Virginia’s Premier Soccer League (VPSL)
  2. It’s important to note that our ECNL RL team requires travel for training sessions between Roanoke and the New River Valley (NRV). The majority of our NPL and NPL Classic teams are broken down geographically, so there are NPL-ROA and NPL-NRV teams with a few of the oldest age teams also merged between ROA and the NRV.
  3. If your player is in our younger age groups, U11 or U12, the highest level of play is on our Pre-ECNL teams and those are broken down between Roanoke and the NRV.

VA United FC participates in the highest level of play offered by VPSL (Virginia Premier Soccer League) which is the ECNL Regional League (RL). There is a higher level, the ECNL National League (NL) governed by US Club Soccer, where teams from our region play in the Mid-Atlantic Conference. It is a goal of VA United FC to one day be invited into the ECNL National League (NL).
