With Real Monarchs preparing to enter their third season of USL play, we're taking a look back at the short, but important, history of the club.
Beginnings of the Club
Officially announced in late 2014, Real Monarchs SLC joined the United Soccer League in the 2015 season. Along with them also came various other new clubs, including Saint Louis FC, Colorado Springs Switchbacks, Seattle Sounders II, and Portland Timbers II. Established as a bridge between the RSL-AZ Academy and Real Salt Lake, it also functions as an affiliate for RSL first-teamers to gain important starting minutes, as well as regain fitness following injuries.
