Laguna Niguel FA

Specialties

We cultivate quality football for our players, teams and clubs.

History

Established in 1996.

Rolando de Tapia moved his family to beautiful Laguna Niguel in 1987 and became active in the local football community. At this time he also joined the Laguna Niguel Coed League which he would lead for a time. In 1996 Roland was managing Inter Niguel F.C. in the Barrigones League of Lake Forest. It was an over 30 men’s league with similar age restrictions to our 11v11 Sunday division. Roland was tired of the violent and mismanaged world of men’s league football and founded the LNFA with four teams, Audax Niguel FC, Niguel FC, Eagles FC and Brits FC. These clubs played their games at Crown Valley Park and Roland went to work building a community league founded on principles of sportsmanship and quality administration where violence would not be allowed to blemish the world’s greatest game.

Meet the Manager

Frederick D.

Manager

In 2002 Frederick de Tapia set out to continue his father’s comittment to providing quality football. Lagu​naNiguelFA​.com was established and men’s league operations were formalized. In addition the LNFA became one of the first associations in Orange County adult soccer to affiliate; committing to even higher standards. In 2011 we added a 7v7 division which is an open (over 18) and fast paced competition which now plays on Wednesday nights. 2014 saw the LNFA partner with League Lobster to develop and implement the use of online team and league management tools leveraging new technologies to continue our commitment to quality. Consistent with the cyclical nature of life, in 2016 we welcome the LN Coed League into our association allowing us the honor of being stewards to this institution which provided football for our family when we started our lives in LN.
