Soccer fans, listen up! Are you tired of only having the option to watch professional soccer on television? Do you prefer to stay close to home rather than traveling hundreds of miles to see live professional soccer?
Great news: Cincinnati, long left out of the professional soccer arena, is proud to be home to a new men’s professional soccer team, FC Cincinnati! While our neighbors in Columbus have had professional soccer with the Columbus Crew for a few decades now, we are just now joining the party with our own (division III) professional soccer team.
FC Cincinnati Joins United Soccer League
FC Cincinnati will play in the United Soccer League along with approximately 30 other teams from across the country and Canada. This is sanctioned as a division III professional soccer league by the US Soccer Federation.
Consider this the “minor leagues” of professional soccer.
It is exciting to have the opportunity to witness fresh new soccer talent compete live and local!
Nippert Stadium is Home Turf
Home turf for FC Cincinnati will be the incredibly renovated Nippert Stadium on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. The season began in late February and will run until the end of September.
Game Schedule and Early Success
The majority of home games will take place at 7:00 p.m. Grab some dinner and head to Nippert and enjoy a game of terrific soccer. The team is already off to a fantastic start, winning two of the first three games and tying the other.
Experience the Excitement
Even if you are not a soccer fan (yet), give FC Cincinnati a chance to earn your loyalty. Bring a friend, bring your family, or just bring yourself.
Join the FC Cincinnati Family
All are welcome to be a part of the FC Cincinnati family and be witness to the dawn of professional soccer in Cincinnati. It’s an exciting time for the city AND for soccer!
