For the last four years it has been a huge pleasure to be the President of the Ultras. We have grown this group from just a few soccer crazed South Floridians to a supporters club that is nationally known. It has been a blast leading the Ultras during the Miami FC years and now the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, fighting for MLS in South Florida, holding soccer events plus so much more.
It is now time to turn over the Ultras President role over to some new blood, someone that can take this group to the next level. Your new President is none other than Uncle Ed Serrano. Ed has been a vital member of the Ultras for many years and has some great plans for the future.
Here’s what Ed has to say about his new role.
“It’s an honor to take the wheel of the Ultras, South Florida’s premier supporters club. Being part of this organization has been a great and fun experience. I’ve made some good friends and hope to continue to make more. We’ve been through a lot, starting with Miami FC and its transformation into the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, to our meeting with Major league Soccer’s commissioner Don Garber. We’ve been on TV shows such as Univision’s Republica Deportiva, we’ve started an internet radio show (Miami Ultras Alive) that has had soccer personalities such as Phil Shoen, Big O, Tim Robbie, Ian Bishop, just to name a few. Plus the creation of the Ultras soccer team which has participated in many tournaments such as MLS futbolito as well as the new FIFA video game tournaments we’ve organized. Much has been accomplished with this group and our name is now nationally known throughout the soccer community. The Ultras are now synonymous with South Florida soccer. I hope to contribute in taking the Ultras to the next level and hope to meet future Ultras at the Strikers games”.
