Sparta United SC is proud to announce our acceptance in the Utah Platform League (UPL) for the 2023 Fall season.

In an effort to enhance and create a healthier competitive environment for Utah's soccer community, we are excited to join the UPL. In addition to our acceptance, we also look forward to collaborating with the other teams/clubs that will be participating in the league as we collectively aim to create developmental opportunities for all clubs and teams regardless of the National, Regional, or State Platforms.

The UPL consist of clubs and teams who qualify through either the National Platform Series (ECNL, GA, & E64) or the National Championship Series (State Cup). For competition purposes, UPL member clubs will only be allowed one (1) team per age group, per gender, that qualifies through the identified National Platform Leagues. Meanwhile, UPL club teams will not be limited to the number of teams participating. This will be based on results as defined in qualifications.

Sparta's director Marco de Ruiter formally accepted the UPL invitation saying, "Sparta United SC is honored to accept the invitation to participate as a member of the Utah Platform League in its inaugural year. Sparta's E64 teams look forward to competing amongst the highest level of competition that our state has to offer.".
