Sarasota Paradise Breaks into Top 10 in USL League Two Power Rankings
Catch tonight's home game at the Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch
Sarasota Paradise has officially entered the national spotlight, landing at No. 10 in the latest USL League Two Power Rankings. The weekly rankings, which track the league’s top 20 teams, reflect the strength of Paradise’s recent performances and growing playoff momentum.
Currently sitting in second place in the South Florida Division, Sarasota Paradise is locked in a tight three-way race for the top spot. The team has already claimed a pair of statement wins over division rival Fort Lauderdale United — a 2-1 road victory and a decisive 3-0 home shutout — giving them a critical edge in the standings.
Their lone meeting with St. Petersburg FC this season ended in a hard-fought 1-1 draw on opening day. The two clubs will meet again on Wednesday, July 2, in what promises to be a pivotal match with major playoff implications.
One of the hallmarks of Paradise’s campaign has been their knack for clutch performances in the final minutes. The team has secured vital late goals in matches against St. Petersburg FC, Weston FC, Fort Lauderdale United, and Kings Hammer FC – Sun City, keeping them firmly in the playoff hunt.
With eyes on a second consecutive playoff berth and a move to the professional USL League One in 2026, Sarasota Paradise is building momentum at just the right time.
Fans can catch the action live at their next home match against Weston FC on Friday, June 28. Tickets are available at sarasotaparadise.us/june28.
