San Francisco Deltas are an American professional soccer team based in San Francisco, California. They are scheduled to join the North American Soccer League (NASL) – Division II in the American soccer pyramid – beginning with the 2017 season. They will play home games at Kezar Stadium.
The San Francisco Deltas soccer team are led by Colombian-born entrepreneur, Brian Andrés Helmick.
The Deltas are financially backed by a group of investors from Silicon Valley tech companies and venture capital firms as well as investors from Brazil. The group includes Jonathan Peachey, former CEO of Virgin in North America; Danny Khatib, Co-Founder, President and COO of Livingly Media; and Josh McFarland, senior director of product at Twitter.
The team will play in the North American Soccer League. The team's debut and marketing efforts have been criticized in the press, with fiftyfive.one declaring the team to have "the worst name and logo in American professional sports." The Deltas' website states that a triangle is used as the logo because it is a symbol for change.
In late 2016, it was announced that San Francisco Deltas would play their home games at Kezar Stadium.
