The Romero Family have soccer roots dating back to the 1930's from their family business that the patriarch of the family owned and based in the district of Rimac. The successful sports manufacturing company was named "Empresas Sporting" in honor of their district's first pro soccer side, Sporting Tobacco, who would eventually become current pro side Sporting Cristal.
Current club president Ed Romero, is the third generation of Romero and responsible for the clubs formation and success. Under his watch the club grew from a recreational team into a semi professional team achieving promotion to the reputable Cosmopolitan Soccer League (CSL) First Division and obtaining two Eastern NYS Soccer Association (ENYSSA) achievements - 2018/19 J.Flamhaft Cup Champions and 2019 S.Rapaglia Cup Runners Up .

Ed Romero and Romero Family are committed to creating a club that will forever represent their family roots, love of the game, and pride of their town of Astoria.
