Join the Winning Team Today

Founder and Owner of Black Lion’s USA FC. 

I was born and raised in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico, at the age of 6 my father started teaching me the sport of soccer.  A team called Cachorras was made thereafter by my late father Enrique Franco who was passionate and fanatic of the sport. Throughout the years growing up I also played for Jalisco Club and Atlas Club. During this time, I was invited to participate in the Mexican National Team.

 My 20 years of experience with the sport of soccer has impacted my life, it has been my driving force, my life, my desire to live. The sport of soccer has made me the person I am today. I take pride in what I do, but most importantly I love seeing my kids, my students, my players grow and venture off into their careers knowing I was part of their training and development.

My name is Michelle J. Lopez 

C.E.O and Co-Owner of Black Lion’s USA FC

I was born in Los Angeles, CA and was introduced to sports by my late grandfather Manuel M. Lopez.  Growing up I played multiple Sports (Basketball, Softball, Volleyball and Tennis) competitive and recreational. Throughout the years I have had the opportunity to venture off in my career in the legal field. 

I am a fanatic of multiple sports and know that playing sports significantly impact a child's life, fostering physical, mental, and social development. They promote physical health, teach valuable life skills like teamwork and leadership, enhance mental well-being, and encourage positive social interactions. Participating in sports also helps children develop emotional resilience, self-esteem, and a sense of accomplishment. This is why for me personally it’s important that Parents and youths are happy with our training and development.
