Quique Lopez, a longtime fixture in Atlanta’s media, marketing, and cultural scenes, originally established the outlet to foster local sports reporting. Beyond founding Atlanta Soccer News, Lopez is widely known as the CEO of Panorama Press Marketing & Media—a full-service digital agency serving the Southeast—as well as the former owner of Atlanta’s iconic music venue and cultural space, The Somber Reptile (home of the original Cajun Kitchen).

Over the last 35 years, Atlanta Soccer News has expanded its digital reach alongside the explosive growth of the sport across Georgia.

“Reaching 35 years is a testament to the incredible passion of the soccer community in Atlanta,” said Quique Lopez, Founder of Atlanta Soccer News. “When we began in 1991, soccer was still working to find a permanent foothold in the American South. Today, Metro Atlanta is recognized as one of the premier soccer capitals of North America. We are proud to have chronicled that transformation—tracking every match, supporting local youth academies, and giving a voice to players at every level of the game.”
