From the schoolyard
to the league
The Gatitos Repelaos F.C started the way the best teams do — a group of school friends in Doral who just wanted to play. Weekend kickabouts. Bragging rights. The pure joy of the game.
That passion never cooled. It grew. What began as pickup soccer for fun turned into something real, and the crew realized they were good enough to compete for something. So they signed up for Liga Natural and took their friendship onto the official pitch at Doral Legacy Park.
Today the roster blends that founding brotherhood with players from MLS NEXT — combining homegrown heart with elite-level quality. Same gold. Same black. Same love for the game that started it all.
