Harpos FC were just one of dozens of amateur soccer clubs here in Colorado, kicking around at tournaments and leagues... until 2015. That’s when the local club won two U.S. Open Cup matches, and found themselves cast as Cinderella at the ball, playing against big professional team from the USL, the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. Harpos lost that match 2-1 in a tightly contested game. But ever since then, the self-titled #bullshitpubteam has become a lower-league juggernaut, and they spent this past summer running every club they met right off the pitch.
As the Rapids fade into irrelevance, we thought we’d provide our readers with some options to watch exciting, winning, grassroots soccer right here in Colorado.
