L.A. Wolves FC is an American amateur soccer club based in Torrance, California. They are named after the Los Angeles Wolves who played in the United Soccer Association in 1967 and in the North American Soccer League in 1968.
The club has three teams which are L.A. Wolves (United Premier Soccer League), L.A. Wolves II (United Premier Soccer League) and L.A. Wolves Reserves (Continental Soccer League South Bay - El Segundo)
Club owner and UPSL Commissioner Yan Skwara re-launched L.A. Wolves FC in 2014, after taking a number of names for a club into consideration. The club was founded with the aspirations of turning professional in mind. L.A. Wolves play their home games at Toyota Sports Complex in Torrance and are a current member of the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), a USASA Premier league.
On August 30, 2014 the L.A. Wolves played their first match, a 6-0 victory in a friendly over the Orange County Crew SC at Toyota Sports Complex.
On Saturday, November 21, 2016 the Wolves FC played a U.S. Open Cup qualifying match versus Cal FC, which the Wolves won by a score of 2-1. The Wolves then advanced past Ventura County Fusion of the Premier Development League by way of protest and disqualification, due to Ventura's fielding of an ineligible player. L.A. Wolves next overcame Orange County Blues FC of the United Soccer League by a score of 4-2 in penalty kicks, before falling to fellow UPSL club La Máquina FC thus being eliminated from the Open Cup.
