RESOLUTION

Congratulating Vermont Green Football Club on winning the United Soccer 
League Two National Championship.

Whereas, on August 2, 2025, Vermont Green Football Club (in this preamble 
referred to as ``Vermont Green FC'' and the ``Boys in Green'') secured a 
2-1 win against Seattle's Ballard Football Club at Virtue Field in front 
of approximately 5,000 fans, securing an undefeated season and earning 
the team its first national title and the nickname ``The Invincibles'';
Whereas this win marks the second year in a row that a Vermont-based soccer team 
has won a national championship;
Whereas several players from the University of Vermont's 2024 Division I 
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men's soccer 
championship team further represented the Green Mountain State through 
their play with Vermont Green FC;
Whereas, having only entered United Soccer League's (referred to in this 
preamble as ``USL'') League Two in 2022, the Boys in Green were 
undefeated across 24 matches and earned a first-place finish in the 
Northeast Division in the 2025 season;
Whereas Maximilian Kissel scored the winning goal for Vermont Green FC in the 
championship game, just 8 months after doing the same for the University 
of Vermont in the 2024 Division I NCAA championship game;
Whereas Vermont Green FC has shown a commitment to building a soccer community 
that reflects the values of Vermonters;
Whereas fans of the Boys in Green and all Vermonters congratulate Vermont Green 
FC for its well-deserved championship and for representing the values of 
everyday Vermonters;
Whereas Vermont Green FC has solidified Vermont as a soccer State, as its 
victory was the product of hard work, dedication, and belief; and
Whereas the Boys in Green made Vermont very proud: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) congratulates the Vermont Green Football Club (referred 
to in this resolution as ``Vermont Green FC'') for an 
incredible season and for winning the United Soccer League Two 
National Championship;
(2) recognizes the achievements of all players, coaches, 
and staff who contributed to the team's success; and
(3) respectfully requests that the Clerk of the House of 
Representatives transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution 
to--
(A) the head coach, Chris Taylor;

and
