McKernan Partners with Semi-Professional Louisiana Soccer Club

Our firm is thrilled to share that we’ve partnered with the Louisiana Krewe Football Club as its Home Jersey Front Sponsor.

LA Krewe FC is a Lafayette-based sports club that describes itself as “the link that joins grassroots amateur soccer to the professional game” and prides itself on mirroring Louisiana’s melting pot culture. The team is affiliated with MLS team Houston Dynamo and recruits international players to play under the guidance of a coaching staff with both American and European talent.

In efforts to increase its team’s competition and the club’s visibility, LA Krewe FC recently announced it was invited to join United Soccer League (USL) League Two. This is one of many ways that the team aims to accomplish its goal to become a professional team by 2024.

In 2019, the club qualified for the U.S. Open Club, a nationwide invitational tournament of teams from all divisions, including teams from the MLS. The last team from Louisiana to make this tournament was in 1990. In 2021, LA Krewe FC participated in the Gulf Coast Premier League and National Independent Soccer Association’s Independent Cup and won both.

With the trajectory the team is currently on, they are in route to becoming the first professional soccer team in Louisiana. We look forward to partnering with a club of such extraordinary potential.
