Know Before You Go: Union Omaha vs. El Paso Locomotive FC
July 26, 2025 - United Soccer League One (USL1)
Union Omaha News Release
Union Omaha is closing out a three match in eight day stretch with a bout against a more familiar foe than Wednesday's newcomers. El Paso Locomotive comes to town for the second year in a row as both teams hope to close out their USL Jagermeister Cup participation with a win. Both teams are eliminated going into this final round of matches, but could definitely use the match as a chance to take on a rival from another league and build momentum as the calendar turns to August and the playoff chase intensifies. And while Omaha's jerseys in this match are going to charity, the hope is that they'll be handing out a pummeling to El Paso.
ABOUT EL PASO LOCOMOTIVE FC
Even as the history between the two clubs deepens on the pitch, there may be something missing in this matchup. Former El Paso assistant Dom Casciato has departed for the USL Championship, while the Owls who were ex-El Paso players aren't here for the match. Still, this will be the third straight season that these two teams will have met, despite playing in entirely different leagues. El Paso Locomotive are under new management since the last fixture as well, with former MLS and USMNT youth coach Wilmer Cabrera now the gaffer down in West Texas. After a couple years near the bottom of the league, Locomotive are firmly in the playoff hunt in 2025, with a 6-5-5 record and one of the league's top scorers thanks to... Wilmer "Andy" Cabrera. And yes, there is a relation: he's the son of the coach. After a six-goal May that earned him Player of the Month honors, the younger Cabrera sits tied for third atop the Golden Boot standings in the USL Championship with 10 goals on the year.
