Wings FC is a professional football club from Guam, currently competing in the Guam Soccer League.
History
Wings FC was founded in 1985.[1] The club has fielded highly successful youth sides since that time.[2][3][4] Wings FC fielded a senior team in the Guam Soccer League for the first time during the 2023 season.[5] The club defeated Quality Distributors on February 11, 2023, for its first-ever win in the league. Nathan Nuwer and Shuntaro Suzuki scored in the 2–0 victory.[6]
In the senior team's first season, it went on to win the league title. Wings FC featured two of the top four scorers in the league. The roster also featured Jacob Toves, the league's Golden Gloves winner as best goalkeeper. Toves maintained a 1.5 goals per game average while posting two shutouts, the most in the league in that category. By virtue of its championship, the club traveled to Saipan to challenge Eleven Tiger FC in the first-ever Marianas Club Championship.[5]
