The San Diego Sockers are the proud caretakers of the greatest legacy in our city’s sporting history. The winners of sixteen professional indoor soccer championships, the Sockers’ pedigree of excellence spans from a 1978 debut in the NASL through the MISL, MSL, PASL, and now the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL). Great players and big personalities have marked the Sockers’ franchise history. Legends from the 1980s, such as Juli Veee and Brian Quinn, remain household names in San Diego decades later. Soccer captain Landon Donovan played for the Sockers in 2018-19. Current stars such as club all-time goal scorer Kraig Chiles, 2019 MASL Goalkeeper of the Year Boris Pardo, and Tijuana standout Brandon Escoto continue the legacy of superstar talent. The Sockers captured ten championships in eleven years during the ‘80s and ‘90s and four straight from 2009-12. From 2011-2013, the club set the United States professional team sports record with 48 consecutive wins, a record that still stands today. In 2022, the Sockers won back-to-back Major Arena Soccer League championships, adding their sixteenth star to a constellation of success. Heading into a new arena in 2023, the Sockers are well-positioned to remain at the forefront of their sport, on and off the field.
