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 Senate--
            (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 Secretary of the Senate 
        transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to--
                    (A) the head coach, Chris Taylor;
                    (B) the sporting director of the Vermont Green FC; 
                and
                    (C) the Vermont Green FC founders, Sam Glickman, 
                Patrick Infurna, and Matthew Wolff.
