New Mexico Runners Season 5

December 30, 2023 – March 17, 2024

The New Mexico Runners, New Mexico’s first Major Arena Soccer League team is set to kick off season 5 with the release of their 2023-24 season schedule. Exciting New Mexico Runners arena soccer action will again take place at the Rio Rancho Events Center with the first game of the season slated for Saturday December 30th, 2023. The Runners will be hosting the El Paso Rhinos with a scheduled 3:05 PM kick off time.

“It’s exciting to see the Runners continuing to make Rio Rancho their home. The City of Rio Rancho is ready for another season of fast paced and high scoring arena soccer. I can’t wait to see the community out there cheering on our team!” States Mayor Hull.

Last season, the Runners had an excellent start of 3 wins right out of the gate, but unfortunately injuries crept up on several key players which slowed down their momentum and resulted in a 4-8 record in season 4.

Head Coach Steve Famiglietta returns to the Runners organization for his fifth year at the helm. The USL soccer Hall of Fame Inductee and New Mexico Sports hall of Fame Nominee continues to build a solid program with his son Nick Famiglietta as Assistant Coach.

“Our goal is to get to the postseason for the first time in franchise history. We’ve got a solid as well as talented group of guys going into season 5 and we are ready to make some waves with key players returning that fans are going to love.” Says Famiglietta.

Season 5 of New Mexico Runners action will consist of 6 home and 6 road games from December – March with playoffs scheduled for April 4-7, 2024 in Wichita, KS. Home Games in BOLD at the Rio Rancho Events Center:
