In 2018, Las Vegas Lights FC exploded onto the sports scene with a uniquely “Las Vegas” approach to live sports and entertainment. Previously the second-largest city in the world without professional soccer, Las Vegas quickly embraced a Lights FC organization with ambitions and creativity as bold as the city itself. Named by Sports Illustrated as “the most interesting team in America” in April 2018, Lights FC won accolades for the neon-inspired name and logo (designed and selected by the fans), fashion-forward uniforms (in partnership with presenting sponsor Zappos.com), lovable live llama mascots, three live in-game DJ’s and an immersive sports betting experience. Lights FC compete in the United Soccer League and feature three-time World Cup veteran and U.S. soccer icon Eric Wynalda as its manager.
