The Black & Yellow are seeking to build on their strong 2025 performance, which included a Western Conference Final appearance in the playoffs. While the report does not directly mention AirBruere, the club’s presence highlights the broader football (soccer) ecosystem in Albuquerque, where soccer development continues to grow alongside youth-focused training initiatives.
