Linoma FC

They were overlooked.
They were lovable losers.
They weren't expected to be good.
They weren't expected to win the @midwestpl.bsky.social Gateway South.
They weren't expected to go to Omaha.

No one told Ehtar FC.

He’s kept himself busy with games, books, Legos, school and has taken full advantage of all of the fun things that children’s hospitals have to offer. He has overcome so much and everyone in his corner is so proud of all he has achieved.”

After relapse in May of this past year we are now on our way to a second bone marrow transplant to hopefully cure Everett for good. Throughout this whole time he has remained strong, upbeat and generally a typical 8 year old boy.

Charity Partner of the Game! Everett Lorkovic

Here is Everett’s story:

This journey for Everett started back in May of 2024 when he was first diagnosed with leukemia. Since then he has endured months in and out of the hospital receiving several rounds of chemo and even a bone marrow transplant.

Everett is a young member of our community who is currently battling cancer for the second time and is awaiting a bone marrow transplant. He’s part of the soccer community here in Omaha, and we want to rally behind him in his fight.

In line with our team’s commitment to the community, we will continue to support a local cause. This weekend, 100% of donations and 50% of merchandise sales will go to Everett Lorkovic and his family.
