View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Union Omaha Soccer Club is an American professional soccer team based in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. Nicknamed the Owls, the team made its debut in USL League One (USL1) in 2020. In the clubs first five seasons, the Owls finished in first place in the league three times and defeated two MLS sides during the 2022 U.S. Open Cup. Along with those achievements, Union Omaha won the league championship in just the second season of the club's existence and again in 2024.
Key Information

History
[edit]In 2019, USL1 awarded a franchise to Alliance Omaha Soccer Holdings to begin play in the 2020 season.[1] The decision to bring the league to Omaha, Nebraska, came as part of the USL's initiative to bring teams to communities without professional soccer.[1]
An addition more than two years in the making finally became a reality in October 2019, when Alliance Omaha Soccer unveiled the team's name, colors and crest design.[1][2]
Prior to its inaugural season, Union Omaha named former University of Nebraska Omaha head soccer coach Jay Mims the club's first manager.[1][3] Mims took the Owls to the playoffs in all three of his seasons at the helm and managed to get the club to the League One Finals in both 2020 and 2021.[4] He remained in charge until his resignation on Dec. 16, 2022.[4]
Union Omaha finished the 2020 season in second place and qualified for the USL1 championship game. However, the match was canceled due to an outbreak of COVID-19 within the team's roster.[5]
By defeating the Richmond Kickers 2–0 in the second to last match of the 2021 season, the Owls became the USL League One regular-season champions and clinched the top seed for the playoffs.[6] Union Omaha then finished the season winning their first ever championship, beating defending champion Greenville Triumph SC 3–0 in the final.[7]
Union Omaha made a deep run in the 2022 U.S. Open Cup, entering in the second round and advancing to the quarterfinals as the last remaining third division team in the competition. In April, the Owls defeated Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire FC in a penalty shootout in the third round, becoming the first USL1 team to defeat an MLS team in U.S. Open Cup history.[8] After defeating fellow USL1 side Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC, Omaha played Minnesota United FC of MLS in the Round of 16 and won 2–1. They were the first third division team since Orlando City in 2013 to advance to the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals.[9][10] The club's run in the competition ended with a 6–0 defeat to hosts Sporting Kansas City in the quarterfinals; approximately 700 fans traveled from Omaha to attend the match at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas.[11]
After slipping to fifth in the standings and losing in the quarterfinals in 2022, Mims stepped down and the club announced the hiring of Dominic Casciato to take his place. In his first season in charge, Casciato led Union Omaha to 14 consecutive wins to finish the season.[12] The Owls eventually lost in the semifinals of the playoffs, but their 14 straight wins helped them earn the USL League One Players' Shield given out to the team sitting atop the league standings at the end of the regular season.
On Jan. 25, 2024, the club announced their plans to build a dedicated soccer stadium in Downtown Omaha.[13][14] The team later paused development following the site's unfavorable position and cost.[15] Then, on Nov. 17, 2024, Union Omaha won its second USL League One title, defeating expansion team Spokane Velocity FC 3–0.[16] In front of the largest crowd in USL League One Finals history, the Owls became the first USL League One club to win a second championship.[17] Union Omaha also won their third USL League One Players' Shield in 2024. In November 2025, Union Omaha announced that they had found a new site for their stadium. The $114 million stadium will be located in North Downtown Omaha, Nebraska and is expected to be completed in 2028.[18]
Honors
[edit]Four Owls' earned USL League One All-League honors in the club's first season. Out of the four, defender Damia Viader and midfielder Evan Conway made the All-League First Team.[19] Viader finished the season top three at his position in chances created and tackles won. Conway created 16 chances and won the most duels of any player in the league. Goalkeeper Rashid Nuhu and forward Ethan Vanacore-Decker made the All-League Second Team.
Union Omaha saw five players earn All-League honors after winning the championship in 2021.[20] Viader and forward Greg Hurst featured on the All-League First Team while Conway, Nuhu and midfielder Devin Boyce made the All-League Second Team. Hurst led the team with 13 goals, and Nuhu won the League One Golden Glove award given out to the goalkeeper deemed the best in the league.
In 2022, only Nuhu and midfielder JP Scearce earned All-League honors, but both appeared on the All-League First Team.[21] Nuhu won the Golden Glove award for the second straight season and finally the jump to the First Team. Scearce recorded 225 duel wins and led the league in that category.
The Owls bounced back in 2023 by putting more players than any other club on the All-League teams with five.[22] Scearce made a second consecutive appearance on the All-League First Team. Defender Alexis Souahy joined him and defender Dion Acoff, forward Steevan Dos Santos and forward Noe Meza all made the All-League Second Team.
After winning the league in 2024, Union Omaha only had one player make an appearance on the All-League teams. Midfielder Pedro Dolabella won 107 duels and recorded 14 goal contributions to make the All-League First Team.[23]
Both Mims and Casciato also earned honors throughout the club's first five seasons. The league awarded Mims USL League One Coach of the Year honors following the Owls 2021 championship season.[4] Two seasons later, Casciato earned USL League One Coach of the Year honors in his first season in charge of the team. Then, he led the Owls to their second league championship and won the award in back-to-back years.[12]
Club Icons
[edit]Mims brought the Owls their first league championship and left a lasting impact as the first manager of a USL1 side to lead his team to victory over an MLS team in the U.S. Open Cup.[8] He did so twice during the 2022 season before resigning at the end of the year.
Casciato made his mark in each of his first two seasons in charge, winning the league and finishing first in the standings at the end of both regular seasons.[12]
Crest
[edit]The team developed its name and crest through fan engagement including town halls, workshops, interviews and online polls to reflect the entire Omaha region.[1][24] In a bid to stay true to the roots of both the state and city, the team announced its new name on Oct. 3, 2019, in a nod to the Union Pacific Railroad.
The great horned owl, a species of owl native to Nebraska, is the prominent focal point of the club's crest. Designed by Matthew Wolff,[25] the three stars to the left of the owl represent the supporters, the city and the purpose of the club.[2]
The Owls' chose the color black as a symbol of power, white to represent new beginnings and lightning yellow as a representation of striking with speed.[2]
Club ownership
[edit]Union Omaha is owned and operated by Alliance Sports. Founded in 2008 by Gary Green and Larry Botel, Alliance Sports owns multiple minor league baseball teams.[26] The Owls ownership group now also includes founder and chairman of Carson Group Ron Carson.[27] Carson officially joined the club in August 2024 and is now working with Alliance Sports, the ownership group formerly in charge of the Omaha Storm Chasers,[28] to run the club.
Stadium
[edit]
The team plays at Werner Park, a baseball park located southwest of Omaha in the suburb of Papillion.[1][29][30] The Sarpy County owned stadium opened fifteen years ago in 2011 and is shared with the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. The ballpark cost $36 million to construct and is located near 126th St. and Highway 370, less than three miles (5 km) west of Papillion in unincorporated Sarpy County.[31] During the 2022 U.S. Open Cup, the team hosted Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC at Caniglia Field, located on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha.[32]
On October 30, 2025, Union Omaha announced that it would begin playing at Creighton University's Morrison Stadium for the 2026 season.[33]
New stadium
[edit]In January 2024, the team announced plans to build a dedicated 7,000-seat stadium in the Riverfront area of east downtown Omaha along the Missouri River, southeast of the intersection of Abbott Drive and Riverfront Drive near the CHI Health Center and Charles Schwab Field. The stadium, with an estimated cost of $60 million, was originally intended to be part of a planned $300 million housing and entertainment district, and was scheduled to open in spring 2026.[13] In January 2025, team owner Gary Green stated that plans had changed and the Riverfront site was no longer under consideration but also said that the team was still “fully committed to building a downtown professional soccer stadium for Omaha.”[34]
In November 2025, Union Omaha chose a different site in North Downtown Omaha. Construction is expected to begin next year and will be completed in 2028.[35]

Club identity
Crest and colors
The crest of Union Omaha, introduced in October 2019 ahead of the club's inaugural 2020 season, which was shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, centers on a stylized great horned owl, a native predator to the Omaha region symbolizing wisdom, intuition, cunning, and fierce competitiveness.[2][6] The owl's distinctive yellow eyes and powerful grip—capable of exerting over 25 pounds of pressure—evoke the team's predatory style on the pitch, while the overall design pays homage to the club's nickname, the Owls.[6] Additional elements include an outline of the state of Nebraska to anchor the club's geographic roots, railroad tracks nodding to Omaha's historic role as a railroading hub and the city's blue-collar heritage, and a central union badge representing unity and collective purpose among players, staff, and fans.[6] The crest's shape draws inspiration from the U.S. Soccer Federation's badge, underscoring Union Omaha's commitment to growing the sport domestically, with three stars above denoting the core pillars of people, place, and purpose; additional stars above the crest represent USL League One titles won (one for 2021 and a second for 2024); an integrated image of an original leather soccer ball further celebrates the game's history.[2][7] Designed by Matthew Wolff of Matthew Wolff Design in collaboration with community input, the emblem was unveiled with its symbolic integrity intact.[2][6] Union Omaha's official color palette consists of black, white, and lightning yellow, established with the crest's unveiling and carried through to the present day.[2] Black embodies power, intelligence, knowledge, and the wealth of the local community; white signifies heroic ideals and fresh starts, aligning with the club's foundational ethos; and lightning yellow captures energy, optimism, and the swift, forceful strikes of the great horned owl, mirroring the team's dynamic play.[2] These hues appear prominently in kits—a black-and-white primary jersey paired with a lightning-yellow secondary—allowing for versatile branding that highlights the owl's piercing eyes and the crest's bold lines.[8] The palette has remained consistent since adoption, with no major evolutions reported, though special editions like the 2024 primary jersey featuring a glow-in-the-dark crest have incorporated the colors for fan engagement.[9]Nicknames and mascot
Union Omaha's primary nickname is the "Owls," derived from the great horned owl emblem on the club's crest, which symbolizes fierceness, competitiveness, and intelligence as a native Nebraska predator.[2] The Spanish equivalent, "Los Búhos," is also commonly used in official communications and by fans, highlighting the team's inclusive appeal to Omaha's diverse Hispanic community.[7] These monikers were adopted upon the team's professional debut in the 2020 USL League One season, quickly becoming central to the club's identity.[10] A secondary nickname, simply "Union," underscores the club's emphasis on community solidarity and draws from Omaha's deep-rooted labor history, particularly the railroad industry's role in shaping the city's working-class ethos through companies like Union Pacific.[10] The nicknames originated in the founding announcements of October 2019 and were reinforced through early marketing campaigns that tied the owl imagery to local pride and unity, fostering immediate fan adoption during the pre-launch period of 2019–2020.[11] The official mascot, Hoot the Owl, brings the owl theme to life and boosts supporter engagement.[12] Hoot plays a key role in matchday entertainment at Werner Park, leading cheers, interacting with crowds, and participating in halftime activities, while also appearing at community events like library storytimes, hospital visits, and youth programs to promote soccer and team spirit across the Omaha region.History
Establishment and founding
Union Omaha was founded on May 1, 2019, when the United Soccer League (USL) awarded a USL League One franchise to Alliance Omaha Soccer Holdings, a subsidiary of the sports management company Alliance Sports.[13] Led by CEO Gary Green and President Larry Botel, the group aimed to establish Nebraska's first professional soccer club, marking Omaha as the 11th team in the league's expansion.[14] This milestone brought professional soccer to the state for the first time, with the club positioned to represent the community's spirit and foster growth in the sport across the Midwest.[15] In the lead-up to its debut, Union Omaha focused on building its foundational elements during 2019 and early 2020. On the same day as the franchise announcement, the club hired Jason "Jay" Mims as its first head coach, drawing on his extensive experience in Omaha's soccer scene from prior roles at Creighton University and the University of Nebraska Omaha.[16] Roster development began in earnest in January 2020, with the signing of an initial group of 13 players, followed by additional acquisitions that expanded the squad to 19 by February, pending league approvals.[17] These efforts emphasized assembling a competitive team capable of embodying the club's vision for inclusive, community-driven soccer. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted pre-season preparations, postponing the club's inaugural match originally scheduled for April 25, 2020, against Orlando City B at Werner Park.[18] League play was suspended until May 10, 2020, ultimately shifting Union Omaha's debut to July 2020 after nearly three months of delays, allowing time for adjusted health protocols while maintaining momentum toward a shortened season.[19] Throughout this period, the organization continued to prioritize its goals of building local excitement and expanding soccer's presence in the region, navigating the challenges to ensure a strong entry into professional competition.[20]League One era and achievements
Union Omaha's entry into USL League One was marked by challenges from the outset, with the club's inaugural season in 2020 delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, postponing their planned debut match and reshaping the league's schedule.[18] Despite these disruptions, the Owls played a condensed 2020 campaign, finishing with a strong record that advanced them to the league final against Greenville Triumph SC, though the match was ultimately canceled after multiple players tested positive for the virus, denying them a chance at an early title.[21] The team rebounded in 2021, securing both the Players' Shield for the best regular-season record and their first USL League One championship in a decisive 3-0 victory over Greenville Triumph SC in the final at Werner Park, with goals from Evan Conway, Greg Hurst, and Steevan Dos Santos, marking a triumphant full debut year.[22][23][24] In 2022, Union Omaha made headlines in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, becoming the first USL League One club to defeat two Major League Soccer teams in a single tournament run by knocking out Chicago Fire FC 2-1 in the third round and Minnesota United FC 2-1 in the round of 16, before falling 0-6 to Sporting Kansas City in the quarterfinals.[25][26] This achievement highlighted the club's growing competitiveness against higher-division opposition and boosted their profile nationally.[27] The 2023 season represented a pinnacle of regular-season dominance for Union Omaha, as they clinched the USL League One Players' Shield with a league-record 65 points, fueled by a remarkable 14-match unbeaten streak that included 13 wins under head coach Dominic Casciato, the longest such run in league history at the time.[28][29] Although their playoff campaign ended in the semifinals, the season underscored the Owls' tactical evolution and defensive solidity.[30] Union Omaha repeated their regular-season success in 2024, again winning the Players' Shield before storming to the playoffs championship with a 3-0 final win over Spokane Velocity FC, earning their second title overall and becoming the first team in USL League One history to claim multiple championships.[7][31] The victory, played before a record USL League One Finals crowd of 5,849 at Werner Park, solidified their status as a dynasty in the third-tier league.[32] The 2025 campaign brought challenges, with Union Omaha finishing fifth in the regular season standings after a mid-season coaching change on July 8, when Dominic Casciato departed and assistant Vincenzo Candela was appointed interim head coach, later named permanent on November 4.[33][3][34] In the playoffs, they advanced to the quarterfinals but were eliminated by FC Naples in a 0-0 draw decided by a 4-3 penalty shootout on November 1.[35][36] Throughout their League One tenure, Union Omaha has played a pivotal role in expanding professional soccer in the Midwest, drawing consistent crowds that grew from an average of 3,177 in 2021 to over 3,400 by 2022, with peaks like the 2024 final setting league attendance benchmarks and fostering a dedicated fanbase in a region traditionally dominated by other sports.[37][38] This growth has helped establish the club as a cornerstone for soccer development, attracting talent and supporters while contributing to the league's footprint in non-traditional markets.[39]Management and ownership
Ownership structure
Union Omaha is primarily owned by Alliance Sports LLC, a sports management and ownership company founded in 2008 by Gary Green and Larry Botel.[40] Gary Green, the CEO of Alliance Sports, brings extensive experience in sports management, having previously built Alliance Building Services into one of the largest privately held building maintenance companies in the United States before transitioning to sports ownership in 2009, where he acquired minor league baseball teams and expanded into soccer.[41] Larry Botel serves as President of Alliance Sports and co-founder, sharing a vision with Green to establish professional soccer in Nebraska, aiming to foster an inclusive community atmosphere and strengthen the sport's presence in the Midwest by launching Union Omaha as the state's first professional team in 2020.[38][42] In August 2024, Ron Carson, founder and chairman of the financial services firm Carson Group, joined as a minority owner, bringing his local Omaha roots and commitment to community-building initiatives to support the club's growth.[43] The ownership structure is governed by Alliance Sports' leadership, with Green and Botel at the helm, supplemented by a local investment group led by figures like Dan Houghton to ensure regional ties and stability.[20] This framework emphasizes investments in community programs, such as inclusive soccer initiatives and youth development, to build excitement and give back to Omaha.[20] A key financial milestone came in 2024 with secured funding for a $60 million soccer-specific stadium project through public-private partnerships, enabling construction to begin that fall and reinforcing the club's long-term vision.[44][45] As of November 2025, there have been no major ownership shifts since Ron Carson's addition, maintaining stability under Alliance Sports amid the sale of other portfolio assets like the Omaha Storm Chasers to focus resources on Union Omaha.[46]Coaching history
Union Omaha's coaching history began with the appointment of Jay Mims as the club's inaugural head coach on May 1, 2019, a role he held until his resignation on December 16, 2022.[47] Under Mims, the team navigated the challenges of its founding years, achieving a 38-17-27 record across all competitions during his tenure, which included a 62 percent win percentage in league play.[48] His leadership culminated in the 2021 USL League One championship, marking the club's first title after securing the regular season crown with the league's best record that year, along with a USL League One Coach of the Year award.[49] Mims' era focused on building a stable foundation, with playoff appearances in 2021 (as champions) and 2022 (reaching the conference finals).[50] Following Mims' departure, Dominic Casciato was named head coach on January 17, 2023, serving until July 8, 2025, when he left to join the Tampa Bay Rowdies in USL Championship.[33] Casciato, in his first head coaching role, transformed Union Omaha into a dominant force, earning USL League One Coach of the Year honors in both 2023 and 2024—the first coach in league history to achieve this consecutively.[51] In 2023, his squad claimed the Players' Shield with a league-record 65 points from 32 regular season matches (19 wins, 8 draws, 5 losses), powered by a 14-match unbeaten streak to close the campaign and setting marks for most goals (61) and points in a season.[52] The 2024 season brought further success, including another Players' Shield, a league-high goal differential of +23, and the USL League One Final victory for the club's second championship, with a regular season record of 15 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses (48 points) before the playoffs.[53] Over his tenure, Casciato oversaw 37 regular season wins in 66 matches, ensuring annual playoff berths.[54] Vincenzo Candela succeeded Casciato as interim head coach on July 9, 2025, before being promoted to the permanent role on November 4, 2025, making him the club's third head coach.[34] At 31 years old, Candela became the youngest professional head coach in North American soccer history upon his appointment.[55] A former USL League One player with over 144 professional appearances and 8,000 minutes across a 10-year career, Candela joined Union Omaha's staff in January 2024 as an assistant under Casciato, bringing familiarity with USL systems from his time with clubs like Forward Madison FC and Richmond Kickers.[56] In the 2025 season, under Candela's interim leadership from July, the team achieved a 10-4-5 record in league play and advanced to the playoffs.[3] The progression of Union Omaha's head coaches reflects a shift from foundational stability under Mims, who posted a 46 percent overall win rate and secured the club's initial playoff success and 2021 title, to the high-achieving era of Casciato, with consecutive Coach of the Year awards, two Players' Shields, a 2024 championship, and consistent playoff runs.[48][54] Candela's appointment introduces a youth-infused continuity, building on prior successes within the USL ecosystem as the team enters the 2026 season.[57]Facilities
Current stadium
Union Omaha's current home venue is Werner Park, located in Papillion, Nebraska. Opened in 2011, the stadium has a seating capacity of 9,023 and serves as a multi-purpose facility owned by Sarpy County and operated by the Omaha Storm Chasers baseball club.[58][59] The park is shared with the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals in Minor League Baseball, and has been adapted for professional soccer since Union Omaha's inaugural season in 2020.[1][60] Adaptations include a retractable hydraulic pitcher's mound to accommodate the soccer field layout, allowing seamless transitions between baseball and soccer configurations.[61] Werner Park features a natural grass playing surface, energy-efficient LED lighting for evening matches, and extensive fan amenities including 15 luxury suites, a 360-degree concourse, family entertainment zones with inflatables and a carousel, and diverse concession options ranging from traditional ballpark fare to local barbecue.[62][63] These elements contribute to an engaging atmosphere for spectators, with the venue also hosting community events such as charity walks, corporate gatherings, and concerts throughout the year.[58] Since moving to Werner Park, Union Omaha has maintained a strong home performance, exemplified by an undefeated postseason record in league finals and a cumulative home win rate that has supported two USL League One championships (2021 and 2024).[32] The stadium's record attendance for a soccer match was 5,849, achieved during the 2024 USL League One Final victory over Spokane Velocity.[31] The club intends to relocate to a dedicated soccer stadium in downtown Omaha starting in the 2026 season.[64]Planned venues and relocations
On January 25, 2024, Alliance Sports, the ownership group of Union Omaha, announced plans for a new 7,000-seat soccer-specific stadium in downtown Omaha, positioned as the centerpiece of an 18-acre, $300 million mixed-use development along Abbott Drive near the Missouri Riverfront.[65] The project included retail spaces, residential units, a hotel, and outdoor amenities, with the stadium's hard construction cost estimated at $60 million and initial site selection focused on an open green space adjacent to the Gallup campus.[44] This development aimed to create a vibrant entertainment district, fostering economic growth through public-private partnerships and enhancing the club's community integration.[66] In January 2025, Union Omaha revised its stadium plans due to urban development challenges at the original Abbott Drive site, which was no longer viable for the project.[67] The club issued a statement indicating that while the previous location was abandoned amid negotiations with stakeholders, positive momentum continued for identifying an alternative downtown site to maintain the vision of a centrally located venue.[68] This shift prompted a renewed site selection process, emphasizing compatibility with existing urban infrastructure and community needs without altering the overall scope of the mixed-use initiative.[69] On October 30, 2025, Union Omaha announced it would play its 2026 USL League One home matches at Creighton University's Morrison Stadium, a soccer-specific facility with a capacity of 7,500 seats located in downtown Omaha.[5][70] This move serves as an interim solution following the expiration of the club's lease at Werner Park and delays in the permanent stadium project, allowing continued operations in a central urban setting while the new site search progresses.[71] The arrangement is expected to improve fan accessibility through its proximity to public transit and downtown amenities, though its long-term status remains tied to the resolution of the dedicated stadium development.[72] Funding for the permanent stadium involves significant investments from Alliance Sports, supplemented by public incentives such as up to $25 million in state support over 20 years through the Sports Arena Facility Financing Assistance Act, alongside potential city tax increment financing approvals.[44] Originally slated for groundbreaking in fall 2024 and opening in spring 2026, the timeline has been extended due to the site revisions, with current efforts focused on securing a new location to expedite construction and deliver an enhanced fan experience centered on soccer-specific design and urban vibrancy.[45]Players and staff
Current roster
As of the conclusion of the 2025 USL League One season on November 10, 2025, Union Omaha's active roster consisted of 24 players, blending experienced returnees, new signings, and youth academy products for a balanced squad with an international contingent of at least eight foreign players from countries including Ghana, Italy, Canada, and Spain.[73] The team announced its initial group of returning players on December 20, 2024, including defenders Dion Acoff, Blake Malone, Anderson Holt, and Charlie Ostrem, midfielder Brandon Knapp, forward Mark Bronnik, and utility player Ryen Jiba.[74] Additional returnees were confirmed on January 7, 2025, such as goalkeeper Rashid Nuhu, center back Marco Milanese, forward Aarón Gómez, defensive midfielder Max Schneider, and forward Pedro Dolabella, though Dolabella later departed for North Carolina FC.[75] Subsequent additions through midseason included international signings like forward Prosper Kasim from Birmingham Legion FC (Ghana), center back Brent Kallman from Nashville SC, midfielder Chelo Martinez from Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC, and winger Sergio Ors from West Virginia University.[73] Departures during the offseason and summer window featured forward Missael Rodríguez (loan expired), defender Will Perkins (to Texoma FC), and midfielder Pedro Dolabella (to North Carolina FC), alongside retirements of defender Isaac Bawa and forward Steevan Dos Santos.[73] Youth integrations highlighted academy graduates like forward Mark Bronnik and defender Anderson Holt, who secured multi-year deals emphasizing the club's development pipeline.[73] The roster is structured as follows:| Position | Player | Nationality | Notes |

Current technical staff
As of November 2025, Union Omaha's technical staff is led by head coach Vincenzo Candela, who was appointed to the full-time role on November 4, 2025, following his stint as interim head coach since July 9, 2025.[3][34] Candela, a former professional player with over a decade of experience in the USL Championship and other leagues, joined the club in 2024 as an assistant and played a key role in the team's tactical setup before assuming leadership amid the mid-season departure of previous head coach Dominic Casciato.[78] The assistant coaching staff includes Jeyhan Bhindi, hired in February 2025 as a first-team assistant with a focus on tactics and video analysis.[79] Bhindi, a Canadian coach holding a UEFA A license, brings extensive experience from roles in the Canadian Premier League, including assistant positions with Valour FC and Cavalry FC, where he emphasized analytical contributions to match preparation.[80] Complementing this is goalkeeping coach Drew Crawford, also appointed in February 2025, who specializes in goalkeeper development after several years in collegiate soccer programs.[79] Crawford holds a US Soccer D License and a Goalkeeper III diploma from the United Soccer Coaches, drawing from his time as an assistant at institutions like Siena Heights University.[81] Support staff enhancements since 2024 have bolstered the team's operational structure, particularly in performance analysis and player welfare, as part of a broader 2025 organizational restructuring triggered by the mid-season coaching transition.[57] This included Bhindi's integration for analytical duties, reflecting the club's emphasis on data-driven decision-making post-Casciato, though specific appointments in athletic training remain aligned with ongoing partnerships like Nebraska Medicine without recent public changes noted.[55]Records and statistics

His teams secured two regular season titles via the Players' Shields in 2023 and 2024, along with the 2024 league championship.[33][92] Vincenzo Candela assumed the head coaching role on an interim basis in July 2025 before being appointed permanently in November 2025, posting a 10-4-5 record in the 2025 regular season.[93][55][3] Across all head coaches, Union Omaha has accumulated approximately 86 total wins in league and playoff matches.

By 2023, the average dipped slightly to 3,030 amid a transitional season without playoff success, but it rebounded to 3,333 in 2024, buoyed by another title-winning campaign and effective promotional efforts such as themed nights and community partnerships.

Honors and records
Team achievements
Union Omaha has established itself as one of the most successful clubs in USL League One since its inception in 2021, achieving multiple championships and regular-season titles that highlight its dominance in the third tier of American soccer.[22] The club became the first in league history to win multiple playoff championships, securing the USL League One title in both 2021 and 2024.[7] In 2021, Union Omaha defeated Greenville Triumph SC 1-0 in the final to claim its inaugural championship, marking a strong debut season. The 2024 triumph came with a 3-0 victory over Spokane Velocity FC in the final at Werner Park, drawing a record crowd of 5,849—the largest attendance in USL League One Finals history—and solidifying the Owls as the first multi-title winner in the competition.[31] The team has also excelled in the regular season, capturing the Players' Shield—a award for the best overall record—three times in 2021, 2023, and 2024, more than any other club in league history.[22] These victories underscore Union Omaha's consistent performance, with the 2021 and 2023 Shields earned through top finishes in points totals, and the 2024 title clinched after a dramatic comeback win against South Georgia Tormenta FC.[102] As Nebraska's first professional soccer team, these accomplishments represent pioneering successes for the state in the sport.[102] In the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Union Omaha made a historic run to the quarterfinals in 2022, becoming the first USL League One club to defeat Major League Soccer opposition and achieving the rare feat of upsetting two MLS teams in a single tournament. The Owls advanced by defeating Chicago Fire FC on penalties in the third round and then edging Minnesota United FC 2-1 in the round of 16, before falling 6-0 to Sporting Kansas City in the quarterfinals.[103][26][104] This deep run highlighted the club's ability to compete against higher-division foes.Individual honors
Union Omaha players and staff have earned numerous individual accolades in USL League One since the club's inception in 2020, recognizing standout performances in regular season play, defensive excellence, and coaching leadership.[105] These honors, voted on by league executives, coaches, and media, highlight personal contributions to the team's success.[106] In the club's inaugural 2020 season, forward Evan Conway was named to the All-League Second Team after scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists in 15 appearances, contributing to Union Omaha's strong attacking output.[107] Conway also earned Player of the Month honors for October 2020, recording 3 goals and 1 assist during a pivotal stretch.[107] The following year, in 2021, Conway secured another All-League Second Team selection with 10 goals and 1 assist across 23 matches.[105] Defender Damia Viader claimed the 2021 Defender of the Year award after leading the league with 58 key passes and 56 interceptions while adding 6 goals and 5 assists from defense; he was also named to the All-League First Team.[108][105] Viader further received Player of the Month recognition for September 2021. Goalkeeper Rashid Nuhu earned the Golden Glove for the fewest goals allowed (0.75 goals-against average) and a Second Team All-League nod in 2021, saving 44 shots at a 71% rate.[105] Nuhu continued his dominance in 2022, winning Goalkeeper of the Year honors alongside his second consecutive Golden Glove (0.91 goals-against average, 72 saves) and earning All-League First Team selection.[109][110] Midfielder JP Scearce joined him on the 2022 First Team after contributing 6 goals and 2 assists with strong defensive metrics, including 230 duels won.[110] In 2023, Union Omaha led the league with five All-League selections: First Team honors for defender Alexis Souahy (149 recoveries, 89 clearances) and Scearce (6 goals, 2 assists); Second Team nods for defender Dion Acoff (3 assists, 21 chances created), forward Steevan Dos Santos (13 goals), and forward Noe Meza (12 goals).[106] The 2024 season saw midfielder Pedro Dolabella named to the All-League First Team for his 14 goal contributions, including 8 goals and 6 assists in 30 matches.[111] As of November 2025, the 2025 All-League Teams included midfielder Max Schneider on the First Team and defender Charlie Ostrem on the Second Team, reflecting strong performances during head coach Vincenzo Candela's tenure, which began on an interim basis in July 2025.[112][3] Defender Charlie Ostrem also won the Golden Playmaker award in 2025 for recording a league-high 10 assists.[113] Forward Mark Bronnik won the Young Player of the Year award in 2025 after a breakout season with 6 goals and 4 assists in 28 appearances.[114] On the staff side, head coach Jay Mims was named 2021 Coach of the Year for guiding Union Omaha to the league's best regular-season record (14-4-4) and the USL League One title.[49] His successor, Dominic Casciato, earned the award in 2023 after leading the team to the Players' Shield with a league-high +23 goal differential.[115] Casciato repeated as Coach of the Year in 2024, becoming the first in league history to win consecutively, as Union Omaha set records for goals per match (2.12) en route to another Players' Shield and championship.[51][53]| Year | Player | Honor |
