The Florida Keys Soccer League has been gaining momentum in its first season, with a total of eight teams competing from across the Keys, with players from the U.S., South America, Europe and Africa. The league also includes players from Key West High School.

Every Sunday, teams compete in a series of matchups on the new Mathew Gilleran field in front of lively crowds at Key West’s Truman Waterfront Park.

The soccer league has become more involved in the community and hopes to engage a wider audience. More information is available on its Facebook page, @Florida Keys Soccer League. “The league is a great opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy the sport,” Matysik said. “We are looking forward to growing the league to become more competitive, involved and entertaining for the whole community. We invite everyone to come join us from 4 to 10 p.m. on Sunday evenings at the soccer field.

Southernmost Soccer Club, established by coach Stanley Matysik in 2021, leads the Florida Keys Soccer League, with Marathon FC a close second. CONTRIBUTED
