Sunflower State FC

Originally the founding members began playing in Kansas City adult leagues as Queso Blanco. Over the first two years competing in the most competitive amateur adult leagues and tournaments in the area the club found substantial success, winning 10 first and second place trophies. Throughout the years interest in the team began to grow. This lead to the development and transition to Sunflower State FC and beginning semi-pro competition in the MASL 3 and UPSL in 2020-2021.
