Hill Country Lobos, is an American soccer team based in Central Texas competing in the Lonestar Division of USL League Two. Prior to joining USL League 2, the club was known as Central Texas Lobos and played in the Gulf Coast Premier League. The Lobos' regular kit colors are purple, gold, and black. The Lobos are based in Austin, Texas and play home games in the nearby town of Buda, Texas. In 2024, the club is set to debut in USL League Two.
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.[1] In the Lobos' inaugural season, the club won the Texas Cup title.[2] However, following the 2017 season, the Lobos withdrew from the TPSL and joined the Gulf Coast Premier League.[3] The Central Texas Lobos also entered the 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup qualification round.[4]
In early 2019, it was announced that the Lobos would be moving to a new permanent 4 acre practice facility in south Austin.[5] The club also added a youth academy, and operates a club (Academy Paraiso) that is part of the third division in Honduras.
In 2023, plans were announced for the club to rebrand as Hill Country Lobos and join USL League Two.[6] In 2024, the Lobos were grouped in the Lonestar Division and are set to play games in Bob Shelton Stadium in Buda, Texas.
