History

Amateur founding

The club was formed in 2015 as the Albion SC Pros, and played its first competitive season as a franchise in 2016, in the National Premier Soccer League. [1] The team's name changed to ASC San Diego for the 2018 season.

2022: Going professional

On December 15, 2021, the club announced a merger with San Diego 1904 FC of NISA, after that club lost a major source of financing. The new club was to take its name from West Bromwich Albion, a professional soccer club in England, and compete in NISA as Albion San Diego, starting with the 2022 season. [2] [3]

Hiatus

Following two seasons in NISA, Albion announced that it would be taking a hiatus from competitive play starting with the 2024 season. [4]
