editThis team is competing in 2 leagues simultaneously??? That is weird.
- Weird, but true. River Plate Puerto Rico and Sevilla FC Puerto Rico are doing the same thing. JonBroxton (talk) 01:22, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Is this club active?
editAn IP user tagged this page with a self-contradictory template, though it doesn't really contradict itself so much as it contradicts the Puerto Rico Soccer League page (as well as {{Puerto Rico Soccer League}}. According to both of these sources, the club is not active with the PRSL, but this article states that the team plays in the PRSL. I did some checking online and couldn't find anything to indicate the club's status except for merger talks with Mayaguez FC back in 2011. There is no mention that I can find that the merger actually happened, however. CThomas3 (talk) 09:00, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Cthomas3: Hey, just gonna reply to you more than two years later (also pinging User:Rgps, who earlier today marked the club as dissolved in 2011). That source you posted (which is now dead but fortunately archived) is interesting and I hadn't found it before. I just did my best to figure out what on earth is going on with this club. I found a source that PR United was suspended ahead of the 2011 PRSL playoffs after rumors that their coach didn't have a work visa. I don't know if the suspension was supposed to be permanent or temporary, but it's sort of moot, because PRSL shut down in 2012 and didn't come back until a few years later.
- Records of PR United after 2012 are scarce. According to our article on LNFPR, PR United was one of seven teams set to join the league in 2016, but the 2016 season ended up cancelled and the league suspended operations. I have one not-great source stating that LNFPR suspended operations after 2015, but otherwise all of this is unsourced. I have very hesitantly added the claim that PR United were going to join LNFPR with a {{citation needed}} tag.
- No clue what the club has been doing since 2016. Their website is still up and apparently active though. It includes a video of them competing in the final of "Torneo Corporativo" (apparently that translates to "Corporate Tournament" – can't find anything on it) in November 2018. There's also a table of match results from the 9th annual Coca-Cola Cup in February/March 2019. There are sources confirming that a Coca-Cola Cup in Puerto Rico did exist, at least in 2014 and 2015, so I guess it's still ongoing now? No clue. In the article I just wrote, "well here's what the team website says" and left it there. –IagoQnsi (talk) 18:13, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
