Vermont Green FC Wins Championship: State Resolution Formalizes 'Invincibles' Status

This isn't a bill that changes your tax bracket or adds a new regulation to your business. This is a legislative resolution—the policy equivalent of a massive, official congratulatory card—dedicated entirely to celebrating the Vermont Green Football Club (FC).

The 'What' and 'Why' of the Resolution

The resolution’s purpose is straightforward: to formally recognize and congratulate the Vermont Green FC for winning the 2025 United Soccer League (USL) League Two National Championship. It’s a ceremonial nod from the state legislature to the team’s achievement. The text specifically highlights that the team finished the season undefeated, earning them the nickname “The Invincibles,” a detail that sounds pretty cool on an official government document.

A Win for Vermont Soccer

Beyond just saying "Congrats," the resolution connects this win to a larger narrative. It points out that this is the second consecutive year a Vermont-based soccer team has snagged a national title, effectively solidifying the state’s status as a serious soccer player. For anyone who follows local sports, this is a big deal, and the resolution gives that community pride an official stamp of approval. It also makes sure to shout out Maximilian Kissel, who scored the winning goal for the FC, noting that he also scored the winning goal for the University of Vermont in the 2024 Division I NCAA championship. Talk about clutch.

The Administrative Follow-Up

Since this is a piece of legislation, even a ceremonial one, there are official steps attached. The resolution respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate transmit an enrolled copy to the key people who made this happen: the head coach (Chris Taylor), the sporting director, and the club’s founders (Sam Glickman, Patrick Infurna, and Matthew Wolff). Essentially, the state is making sure the official framed copy gets delivered directly to the people who earned it. This action is purely administrative and doesn't involve any new spending or policy changes that would affect the average Vermonter—unless you happen to be one of the people getting the framed resolution.
