Greenville Triumph founder Joe Erwin steps down as chairman after seven years

Joe Erwin has stepped down as Chairman of the Greenville Triumph and Greenville Liberty soccer clubs.

The founder of both clubs announced the change to players and staff during a meeting this week.

Erwin remains an owner of the team and will continue to serve on its board.

Since establishing the Triumph in 2018 as Greenville’s first professional soccer team, Erwin’s leadership has transformed the Upstate South Carolina soccer landscape.

“From my days playing soccer at Eastside High School to watching the Triumph lift trophies and seeing young girls inspired by our Liberty players, this journey has exceeded every expectation,” Erwin said.

The Greenville Triumph Soccer Club has distinguished itself not only through on-field success but through its unwavering commitment to the community. The organization believes deeply in building strong foundations, fueling sustainability, and growing a fan base that celebrates the diverse, historic neighborhoods of Greater Greenville and the families who call the Upstate home.

“Sports have this incredible ability to bring people together, to celebrate, to cheer, and to unite people of different backgrounds,” he said. “That’s why we chose the name Greenville Triumph SC. When we’re together, our community truly triumphs.”
