History

In the summer of 2016, the Lobos' team owner, David Walding, announced the franchise would join the Texas Premier Soccer League for the 2016–17 season.[2] In the Lobos' inaugural season, the club won the Texas Cup title.[3] However, following the 2017 season, the Lobos withdrew from the TPSL and joined the Gulf Coast Premier League.[4] The Central Texas Lobos also entered the 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup qualification round.[5]

In early 2019, it was announced that the Lobos would be moving to a new permanent 4 acre facility in south Austin.[6] The club also added a youth academy, an arena soccer team (ArenaWolves) that plays in a regional league, and also operates a club (Academy Paraiso) that is part of the third division in Honduras.
