Himalayan Sonoma FC
The Himalayan Sonoma Football Club (HSFC) was founded in 2014 by Mr. Pemba T. Sherpa and a group of young Sherpa individuals from Sonoma. The club’s mission is to unite the Himalayan communities and foster strength and friendship among them. Its motto, “Unity, Strength, and Friendship for the Community,” reflects this core purpose.
With over 30 players ranging from ages 15 to 65, HSFC is an inclusive soccer club open to all members of the Himalayan communities. While affiliated with the Himalayan Sherpa Club of Sonoma, HSFC operates independently, managed by a team of volunteers, professionals, and players. The club holds training sessions on Saturday and Sunday mornings and participates in various leagues and tournaments, including the NAC Tournaments, Gurkha League, Gurkha Cup, Himalayan Cup, Dashain & Tihar Cup, and the Sonoma Running Cup.
In a short time, HSFC has achieved significant success, thanks to the dedication of its coaches, volunteers, players, parents, and management team. The club is actively seeking to participate in additional competitive leagues and looks forward to continued community support to achieve even greater successes in the future.
We heartily welcome to interested individual to this Football club.
