The 2022 Central Valley Fuego FC season was the first season in the club's existence. It marked the return of professional soccer to Fresno since USL Championship club Fresno FC dissolved in October 2019.[1] The club played its first season in USL League One in the third division of the American soccer pyramid. They played their home games at Fresno State Soccer Stadium on the campus of Fresno State University.
Jaime Ramirez, initially named the team's sporting director, was later named the head coach in late December.[2] He would resign his position in the preseason, and was replaced by Milton Blanco in the interim.[3] Martín Vásquez was named the permanent head coach on April 14.[4]
