At last Saturday’s match against San Diego Loyal SC, Republic FC teamed up with Special Olympics Northern California to surprise three athletes that they were heading to the Orlando games next year.
The athletes, Maceo, Stefanie, and Ambiance came down to the field at halftime thinking they were playing a game of True and False, but were surprised during the contest when the last question asked if they were competing in Orlando next year.
