MESQUITE – It’s game time at Mesquite Arena. Texas Outlaws FC of the Major Indoor Soccer League is looking to bring another exciting game to their home crowd. Embracing the cheers, music, and vibrant fan base is GM Brad, who loves being at the center of it all. It is his home and everyone has made a conscious effort to ensure a family-friendly environment.
Ever since Namdar can remember, he has been drawn to soccer. That's not surprising considering his family's ties to the sport. His great-uncle was the chief referee in Asia and was a referee at the World Cup and the Olympics. His uncle “Cha Cha” Namdar played for the San Diego Sockers in the MASL.
