Alabama FC South Fall 2024 Coaching Staff

Alabama FC South is proud to release its lineup of Competitive Coaches for the Fall 2024 Season.

We have put together a group of coaches that will change the way our teams practice, develop and compete throughout the year. At Alabama FC South, our coaches playing experience, teaching abilities, knowledge, and more importantly their honest and true commitment to developing youth soccer players is the principal focus at our club; not training props, A.I. graphics or endless empty space with no purpose.

We will continue to work and create a positive atmosphere that will allow our players & their families to reach new heights and change the soccer scene in this city & River Region. Our club will always welcome every player that wants to improve their skills and compete at a high level and with our new coaching staff in place we have no doubt we’ll be able to provide great experiences along the way.

The decision to incorporate Alabama FC South into the GCPL was met with widespread approval. The newcomers home stadium, Emory Folmar YMCA Championship Stadium, has a rich history and capacity for hosting competitive matches that make it an ideal venue for hosting and competing in the GCPL.

The coaching staff shares this sentiment, acknowledging the opportunity to nurture talent while competing at a high level. “We are very excited and happy with the opportunity to join the Gulf Coast Premier League this Summer and play alongside soccer clubs with a rich history in the Gulf Coast area,” noted Mateo Peral, Technical Director of Alabama FC South. “We’re fully committed to the continuous growth of the GCPL along with providing our club with a pathway to reach new audiences within our city so we can develop talented players for our Senior & Youth programs.
