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.

The Real San Jose soccer team kicked off the 2023 National Soccer League season with an impressive 3-1 victory against San Pablo FC on April 15th, 2023. The match took place at MLK Park in Richmond, and it certainly gave fans plenty of excitement and reasons to be optimistic about the upcoming season.

Real San Jose forward Lluis Dolade emerged as the star of the game, scoring two goals and assisting on a goal by teammate Cristian Cruz. Dolade's first goal came in the opening stages of the match, and his second goal arrived late, putting the game away.

In addition to Dolade's standout performance, midfielder Yasid Alvardo played a crucial role in controlling the game, winning several key challenges and distributing the ball effectively to create numerous scoring opportunities for his teammates. His composure in the midfield allowed Real San Jose to dictate the tempo and thwart San Pablo FC's efforts to gain a foothold in the game.

The return of defender Andrew Canepa to Real San Jose added stability to the backline, effectively neutralizing San Pablo FC's attacking threat. Canepa's experience and leadership proved invaluable, guiding the team to a strong defensive performance and limiting the opposition to a lone goal.

The final scoreline of Real San Jose 3, San Pablo FC 1, leaves Real San Jose with a strong start to the 2023 National Soccer League season.
