About Us

Cleveland United FC represents more than a team. It’s a movement to bring our city together through the world’s game.

The history of Cleveland United FC

Cleveland United FC was officially launched on September 4, 2025, with the vision of uniting the city of Cleveland, Tennessee, through soccer. Founded on community values and a commitment to excellence, the club represents a new era of the sport in the region. In 2026, Cleveland United FC will make its competitive debut in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), marking Cleveland’s first-ever semi-professional men’s team, positioned just below the professional tier and above collegiate play. The launch symbolized more than the start of a soccer club; it marked the beginning of a movement to bring opportunity, pride, and identity to local players and fans alike. Guided by the motto “A City United,” Cleveland United FC stands as a testament to what can be achieved when passion and community come together.
