The 2026 season has come to an end, and there is no way to describe it other than disappointing.

After twenty seasons, Real San Jose experienced the most difficult year in club history. The results on the field fell well below the standards we have set for ourselves, and as a club we must honestly acknowledge that.

Professional standards require commitment, preparation, accountability, and consistency. This season showed us that we fell short in those areas.

The responsibility for rebuilding begins now.

Over the coming months, the club will evaluate every aspect of its operation as we prepare for the 2027 NPSL season. Our goal is not simply to improve our record, but to rebuild a culture that reflects the values Real San Jose was founded on nearly twenty years ago.

As part of that process, the club will not participate in the 2027 U.S. Open Cup qualifying competition. We believe our resources are better invested in strengthening our roster, improving our organization, and building a team capable of competing at the level our supporters expect.

Open tryouts for the 2027 season will be announced in early 2027. Every roster position will be earned.

To our supporters, sponsors, volunteers, players, and everyone who has stood behind Real San Jose over the past twenty seasons, thank you. Difficult seasons do not define a club. How a club responds to them does.

The work begins today.

RSJ opened the scoring in the 2nd minute through Patrik Sofalvi. Just two minutes later NorCal tied the match from the penalty spot and the game remained wide open from there as both sides had their chances to take the lead before halftime.

San Jose opened the second half just the first, this time Cedric Fossito, who just am on at the start of the half, played a perfect through ball to Sofalvi to score the winning goal.

Real San Jose opened the 2021-22 NSL Pacific Conference season with a well-deserved 2-1 victory over 2021 Regular Season Champion San Pablo FC at PAL Stadium. Hector Herrera was the offense star by assisting on the RSJ tying goal, scored by Patrik Sofalvi, and then scoring the game-winner erasing one-goal halftime deficient. Defensively, RSJ was led by newcomers goalkeeper Vadim Butenko and defender Juan Velazquez.

"It was a great way to start the season. We were a different team in the second half as the guys were determined to get the win," said RSJ coach Dave Gold.

The season-opening was a little payback for San Pablo, beating RSJ twice last season. The second win knocked RSJ out of the playoffs.
