History
The team began as the Sedona FC Strikers, based in Sedona, Arizona. The team moved to Yuma, Arizona and became Arizona Strikers FC on January 3, 2015.
Controversy
The team chose to sponsor The Desert Sun Clasico for July 14, 2015. It would have featured Club Tijuana against Monarcas Morelia. However, poor attendance as evident by ticket sales lead to the events cancellation. President Manny Arias remarked that "Yuma has a lot of selfish people". That statement ignited the community as few knew of the match due to poor promotion and it is noted the team spent more time in San Luis going unnoticed by much of Yuma. Following the comments their website was taken down and the teams Facebook page was not being updated. A second season in Yuma was now a definite no.
