California Victory

It was an expansion team for the 2007 season, but ceased operation in September of that year after parent club Deportivo Alavés withdrew its support.

[3] Terry Fisher, a longtime football executive and coach, was the team's first general manager.

Seeing a need for community support of the club, several loyal 1906ers met at The Pig & Whistle[5] with members of the Victory front office.

Through the sales of handmade merchandise and community outreach, the CVSA had effectively created a fan base for the Victory.
