In 1997, they changed their name again, this time to Arizona Sahuaros, and moved up to the USISL D-3 Pro League.

The team was led by head coach Tim Marchisotto and standout goalkeeper Jake Rybicki.

2018 saw the team raise the bar again, with Marchisotto moving into the general manager role and the addition of Aidan Davison as head coach.

The club continues the same original traditions as a development pathway for players and coaches to reach the professional ranks.

In seasons 2021 and 2022, the Club fielded two teams in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) – Sporting Arizona FC and SAFC Sahuaros.

Sporting Arizona FC coached by Eric Junis Aguilar won the UPSL Division 1 title.
