| Member Spotlight: Gunnar Peters and River Trinity Club de Futbol
Gunnar Peters started River Trinity Club de Futbol (RTCF) in Irving in 2012, wanting to create a soccer club similar to those in Sweden. "In Texas, in my experience, you have soccer clubs where the teams within the same club don't support each other. They lack that cohesiveness." Gunnar wanted to start a soccer club that would not only be about the sport but about the city, the city's history, the culture and the people.
