The National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) is proud to announce that Los Angeles United Football Club (Los Angeles, CA) has joined the league as an expansion team. The club will begin competition in the West Region’s Southwest Conference in 2019.
“The NPSL is thrilled to be penetrating further into the Los Angeles market,” NPSL Managing Director Cindy Spera commented. “We are expecting great rivalries and exciting players to emerge from this area, a true hotbed of talent in the U.S.”
The leadership of LA United FC includes President/Chairman Harry Tachian, Director of Operations Vasken Nahabed, Director of Marketing Mary Beth Sales, and Head Team Physician Dr. Wenjay Sung.
“We chose the NPSL because the league is all about being competitors on the field and partners off, a united approach and comradery amongst all, a welcoming and family atmosphere,” Tachian added. “We expect to build a competitive team and raise awareness within the community about our new club and the NPSL.”

Along the course of his success in real estate, Tachian invested and ventured into a variety of new businesses, some of recent being the FoodBall Network (FBN) that is a U.S.-based digital media and entertainment company that delivers premium content centered around food and sports topics. Tachian also is Founder and Chairman of Score for the Heart, a non-profit organization contributing to minors with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), a foundation he started due to a condition he has struggled with most of his life.
