History[edit]
The Georgia Revolution were founded in 2010 to begin play in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, roughly equal to the USL Premier Development League. The team was created to serve as the top level of the Rockdale Youth Soccer Association, which was founded in 1976, hence the "est. 1976" on the club's crest.[1] The Revolution defeated Jacksonville United 2-1 in its first game on May 13, 2011.[citation needed]
US Open Cup success[edit]
The Revolution qualified for the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, defeating PDL side Mississippi Brilla on May 15, 2012 on a header goal scored by Hailob Habtom in extra time. They moved on to the next round and faced the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks, where they lost 1-0 thanks to a goal by Raphael Cox. Later in their season they defeated the reigning NPSL champions, Jacksonville United, 7-3 in a regular season match.
The Revolution would again qualify for the Open Cup in 2013 and see a rematch against second division state rivals, Atlanta Silverbacks, losing 3-2.[2]
