Eight years after a failed bid to launch a professional soccer team in Puerto Rico, Joe Serralta and a group of Puerto Rico businessmen launched the Islanders in 2003 and the club played its inaugural match in the United Soccer Leagues First Division in 2004. Two years later, the Islanders qualified for the playoffs. In 2007 they advanced to the semifinals and last year fell to Vancouver in the final. Led by Northern Irishman Colin Clarke, a former coach of FC Dallas of Major League Soccer, Puerto Rico made a run to the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals in 2008, upsetting CD Marathon in the quarterfinals before being ousted by Cruz Azul on penalty kicks.
