From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Raleigh Express was a soccer club that competed in the United Soccer Leagues from 1993 to 2000. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the club started as the Raleigh Flyers in the USISL before moving to the A-League in 1997. In 1999, the club was renamed the Express, and in 2000, became the Raleigh Capital Express. They would become the inaugural winners of the Southern Derby competition, and shortly thereafter folded.
