Albion San Diego is an American professional soccer team based in San Diego, California, that is an inactive member of the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA). Albion San Diego began play in the 2016 season. The team plays their home games at Canyon Crest Academy.
The club was formed in 2015 as the Albion SC Pros, and played its first competitive season as a franchise in 2016, in the National Premier Soccer League.[1] The team's name changed to ASC San Diego for the 2018 season.
On December 15, 2021, the club announced a merger with San Diego 1904 FC of NISA, after that club lost a major source of financing. The new club was to take its name from West Bromwich Albion, a professional soccer club in England, and compete in NISA as Albion San Diego, starting with the 2022 season.[2][3]
Following two seasons in NISA, Albion announced that it would be taking a hiatus from competitive play starting with the 2024 season.[4]
