History

Deportivo Coras began as an amateur, affiliated soccer club in 1966–67, shortly thereafter joining the Belvedere Soccer League in East Los Angeles, where they'd win two championships in the 1967 and 1968 seasons. The club joined the California League in 1969, where they'd play for over 30 seasons before joining So-Cal Premier League. [2] Coras announced they would be joining NPSL on November 20, 2014, and played their inaugural season in NPSL in the 2015 season. [3] The club has an affiliation with Mexican club Deportivo Tepic FC. [4]

In November 2019, the club rebranded as Club Xolos USA U-23, establishing an affiliation with Mexican side Club Tijuana. [5]

Rivalry

The team has one rival, Temecula FC, commonly known as the Riverside County Derby for the simple fact that both teams are in the same county. The Xolos have typically dominated the derby, beating Temecula for four straight seasons (2015-18). In 2019, the first match which was held in Temecula ended up 0-0, while the second match hosted by Riverside resulted in the Quails first win against Riverside in the NPSL, the score was 2–1. [7]

In 2016, the two teams began an off-season tournament called the Riverside County Cup which runs through October to November. [8] The tournament is an open invitation to local NPSL and UPSL teams within Riverside county and surrounding areas. The Coras won the Cup for the first time on November 10, 2019, when the team defeated two-time defending champion Temecula, 4–0. [9]
