Annabelle York & Crystal Sanchez Join United City FC Women After VFN Showcase

February 18, 2025 – Ventura, CA

We’re proud to share some incredible news coming out of our most recent VFN Showcase:

Annabelle York and Crystal Sanchez have officially earned opportunities to join United City FC Women (@ucfcwomen) — one of the top women’s clubs in the nation — after standout performances that caught the eyes of attending scouts.

Talent That Spoke for Itself

Both Annabelle and Crystal showed up ready to make an impact — and they did just that. Their technical ability, composure under pressure, and relentless drive on the field set them apart during the showcase. They didn’t just play well — they left a lasting impression.

Thanks to the presence of UCFC Women at our event, these two athletes now get to take the next step in their football journeys — surrounded by championship-level talent, international exposure, and a proven pathway to the professional game.

Why This Matters

This is exactly what Ventura Football Network is here to do — remove barriers and create real, tangible opportunities for players who have the talent and the heart, but not always the access.

United City FC Women’s belief in our platform, and in players like Annabelle and Crystal, is another powerful example of what happens when community, opportunity, and exposure come together.

We couldn’t be prouder of these two rising stars — and we’ll be cheering them on every step of the way.

Keep shining, Annabelle and Crystal.
This is just the beginning.
