Dips Reunion

ARE YOU A FORMER DIPLOMATS PLAYER OR FAN? 
DC United has asked me to gauge interest in a Diplomats Reunion/Recognition game in 2019 with an eye on a bigger event during the 2020 season. If this is something you would be interested in happening/attending please send me a message at jreed65844@aol.com    Thank you!

1979 Diplomats

The Washington Star featured the '79 Diplomats individual photos as part of their NASL preview coverage. How they confused Art Welch and Sakib Viteskic is any ones guess.

1974 Clinic

The Diplomats were always very involved in the Washington area community. Here, the 1974 team signs autographs after a soccer skills clinic.

Wim Jansen Joins the Diplomats

March 6, 1980: The Dips hold a press to announce their third major acquisition, Wim Jansen, for the 1980 season. An interesting side note, the jersey from the press conference showed up on ebay about 20 years later along with a 1979 team picture and another photo. If anyone knows where it is or wants to sell, feel free to contact me.
