Bobby Dulle said he was born and raised playing soccer and loves the sport to this day.
Dulle is general manager and chief operating officer of the Phoenix Rising Football Club, a professional soccer team in Tempe that has been rapidly gaining popularity.
He first moved to Arizona to play college soccer for Grand Canyon University. After graduating, he traveled the world for nine years working for the Harlem Globetrotters.
“The one common thing anywhere I went in the 50-plus countries, when I’m sitting at a pub or at a coffee shop; the common language was soccer — football, for the rest of the world,” Dulle said. “There was an opportunity that was presented to me a little over three years ago to join what was formerly known as Arizona United, and it was an opportunity for me and my family that made a lot of sense.”
Phoenix Rising is a bit of a passion project for Dulle, who said he jumped at the opportunity.
