Meet Your 2026 Champions

Champions. And they’re your neighbors.

In 2025, Reading United A.C. did something the club had never done before: we went undefeated and captured our first-ever WPSL Mid-Atlantic Conference — Commonwealth Division title (7-0-3). We led the division with 31 goals, and our defense tied for fewest allowed. Now we defend it.

“The players play for the badge. This team is their team.”

— Tom Gosselin, Head Coach

Stay Local. Get Next Level Ready.

That’s not a slogan. Look at the roster.

This summer, the women wearing RUAC kits come from the towns you drive through every day. Governor Mifflin alums. Wyomissing grads. FC Revolution and Reading Rage Surf products who came up on the same fields your young girls train on right now. The WPSL is full of clubs built on imported talent. Reading United AC built ours on the 610.

What “Stay Local” actually means

Every summer, Reading United gives local women a place to keep playing — between college seasons, at the next level, in front of hometown crowds. It’s how a defender from Birdsboro ends up scoring goals in a title-winning run. It’s how a keeper from Douglassville becomes a champion. #DefendThe610 was never just a hashtag.
