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.

Real San Jose fell to the Oakland Stompers by the score of 2 to 1 on May 2 at Pal Stadium in San Jose. Stompers forward James Huffer put RSJ in a hole in the 3rd minute.

Early in the second half, RSJ missed a golden opportunity to tie the match when Eudis Mendoza failed to convert a rolling cross Manual Meza just two yards from the goal.

Both sides had plenty of chances until the 63rd minute when Arnulfo Garcia rolling shot barely crossed the goal line before being kicked away.

RSJ scored in the game's last touch as Memo Plancarte's shot bounded off Stopmers defenders and went it.

RSJ travels to Vallejo for a 7 pm kickoff on Sunday night.

Real San Jose defeated Dahlak FC by the score of 3 to 0 on April 24, 2021, at Raimondi Park in Oakland.

Cedric Fossito opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a short-range shot off a pass from RSJ captain Sergio Cermeno.

RSJ had missed numerous clear chances to increase the lead until, finally, in the 69th minute Memo Plancarte chested down a long free-kick from Hoang Pham then blasted a 15 yard shot into the Dalak FC goal. Plancarte later assisted Dylan Tsague's 85th-minute goal.

Real San Jose fell behind twice in the first half and came-back twice and then made an early second half goal stand to open the 2020 Spring Season with a 3-2 victory over Pajaro Valley United on March 7 at PAL Stadium in San Jose.

With RSJ trailing midway through the first Memo Plancarte sent in a cross from the right and after a pair of defensive headers, the last of which fell to Miguel Leon who vollied the ball into the PVU net. The tied match did not stay that way long as PVU struck again. Then Sergio Cermeno scored for RSJ from the penalty spot just before halftime.

RSJ came out strong to start the second half and once again it was Leon who this time crossed to Plancarte to volley home. RSJ made that goal stand to earn a exciting 3-2 victory.
