Get to know us
Crestline FC is a nonprofit futbol club born in Durham, North Carolina and serving the Triangle area and beyond. Founded by Erdi Engin, a USSF A-Licensed coach and former professional player with experience at the Division 1 college level and top-tier youth clubs, the club was built on a passion to create a clear and consistent pathway for player growth.
That mission lives on in our daily work. We are committed to helping each player reach their full potential while making the game accessible to all backgrounds and skill levels. Our international approach to development focuses on each individual holistically and supports their journey every step of the way.
