Who is Anthony Farace?

Anthony Farace is a retired U.S. soccer player who spent his career with Southern California based teams in the Major Indoor Soccer League and USL A-League.

Farace may have begun his professional career in 1996 with the Anaheim Splash of the Continental Indoor Soccer League, but records do not currently show how long he was with the team. In 1998, he signed with the San Diego Flash of the USL A-League. However, he lost the entire season with a knee injury. The San Jose Clash selected Farace in the third round of the 1999 MLS Supplemental Draft. The Clash waived him on April 1, 1999. He returned to the Flash and played 23 games during the 1999 season. On November 10, 1999, the Flash sent Farace, Michael N’Doumbe, and the team’s first and second round draft picks to the Seattle Sounders in exchange for Mark Baena. On April 12, 2000, the Sounders sent Farace to the Orange County Waves for cash after he refused to play for the Sounders. He began the season with the Wave, but was traded to the Flash during the season. In 2001, he signed with the San Diego Sockers of the World Indoor Soccer League. The WISL played a summer indoor season, but folded at the end of the season.
