                  RECOGNIZING COACHELLA FOOTBALL CLUB

  (Mr. RUIZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUIZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with pride to recognize the 
Coachella Football Club, an awesome soccer organization from 
California's 25th District that is lifting up young athletes and 
inspiring our entire community.
  This past year, the Coachella Football Club's Premier team, our semi-
pro squad, dominated the field. They were SoCal East season champions 
and went undefeated in the divisional playoffs. Coached by Aldo Caro 
and Octavio Bustillos, this team played one of their best seasons yet, 
and we are so proud of them.
  They are not alone. The Coachella Football Club's Academy's 17-and-
under boys' team also had a phenomenal run, winning the fall 2024 and 
spring 2025 SoCal East championships without a single loss. Thanks to 
Coaches Manuel Montano and Carlos Bustillos, they have set the bar for 
excellence, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
  A special congratulations to Coachella Football Club owner Luis 
Bustillos, who founded the team with a vision to help players turn 
their dreams into reality. He calls the club a dream factory and 
continues to inspire his players to dream big.
  I thank every Coachella Football Club player and coach for 
representing our district with grit, heart, and pride. Their success 
reminds us all what is possible when talent meets dedication.
