Brooklyn Football Club is an American professional women's soccer club based in Brooklyn, New York City, that competes in the USL Super League (USLS). Founded in 2023, the club began playing in 2024, and will field a men's team in the USL Championship (USLC) beginning in 2026.
History
[edit]On June 8, 2023, the United Soccer League announced that North Sixth Group had been granted a USL League One expansion team in Brooklyn, to start play in the 2025 season, with a women's and youth team to follow.[1][2][3]
North Sixth Group specializes in purchasing and developing lower-tier soccer clubs. In addition to Brooklyn FC, it owns sixth-tier Swiss club FC Locarno, Serie D side ASD Campobasso 1919, and a stake in Serie B club Ascoli Calcio.[4][5] Among the minority owners in North Sixth Group are television personality Kelly Ripa and actor Mark Consuelos.[6]
USMNT International Timothy Weah joined the ownership group on May 28, 2024.[7]
Colors and badge
[edit]The club's name and logo, designed by British-based designer Christopher Payne, were unveiled on November 9, 2023. The limestone color is a reference to the Brooklyn Bridge which is represented in the logo, and the brown color reflects the brownstone buildings seen across the borough.[8][9]
The badge and identity will be used by all Brooklyn FC teams.[10] The club originally announced a kit deal with Kappa, but after the ownership group acquired a stake in manufacturer Diaza, the contract was transferred.[11]
Sponsorship
[edit]| Period | Kit manufacturer | Shirt sponsor | Back sponsor | Sleeve sponsor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024–present | Diaza[12] | Liquid Death[13] | The Perecman Firm[14] | N/A |
Men's team
[edit]The men's team was announced to begin in the third division USL League One in 2025, with an option to move up to the second-division USL Championship by 2028, if certain benchmarks were met.[2][3] On March 7, 2024, New York City-based soccer outlet Hudson River Blue reported that the team would, in a change of plans, begin directly in the USL Championship for the 2025 season,[15] which was confirmed by USL a week later.[16] In December 2024, that debut was pushed back to the 2026 season.[17]
Women's team
[edit]At its founding, the club announced that in addition to its men's team, it intended to field a women's team in the USL Super League.[2] The Super League is a Division One league, representing the top level of women's soccer in the United States, and began play in August 2024. It was reported in late 2023 that a women's team would be established in 2025, which would be for the Super League's second season.[18] However, on February 9, 2024, the USL announced that Brooklyn FC's women's team would be one of the Super League's inaugural eight teams.[19]
Inaugural season
[edit]The league released its season schedule on May 30, 2024, establishing the club's inaugural match would be on Saturday, August 31, a home game against Carolina Ascent FC.[20]
Brooklyn FC announced on May 17, 2024, that they had signed the first-ever player in club history, Puerto Rican national team goalkeeper Sydney Martinez.[21]
Due to unspecified issues with the playing surface being laid down at Maimonides Park, the club postponed its inaugural match, announcing that the club's first home match would instead be September 25, 2024 against Dallas Trinity FC.[22]

Academy
[edit]On December 7, 2023, Brooklyn FC announced that Two Bridges Football Club, a New York City-based youth soccer organization, would become the club's official youth academy and would start playing in the USL Academy League in 2024. Maximilian Mansfield, the executive director of Two Bridges, was named president and CEO of Brooklyn FC.[3] As of October 2024, Mansfield is no longer the CEO nor President of Brooklyn FC.
The academy's U23 team started play in the semi-professional United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) 2024 as Brooklyn FC II.[29]
On June 12, 2024, the club announced that its U20 academy side would play an exhibition match against Ecuadorian Serie A club C.D. Cuenca on July 13.[30]
Stadium
[edit]On January 19, 2024, it was reported that Brooklyn FC plan to play their matches at Maimonides Park in the Coney Island neighborhood of Brooklyn.[31] That was confirmed by the league on January 31, announcing that the team had signed a multi-year deal.[32]
Maimonides Park is a 7,000-seat stadium on the Coney Island Boardwalk. It had briefly been the home of the second New York Cosmos in 2017, prior to that club going on hiatus. Brooklyn FC intends to use a different field orientation than the Cosmos previously used, leaving the pitcher's mound intact and "maximiz(ing) a lot of the space around the field".[33]
Before the women's opener in 2024, the club cited issues with the soccer turf installation that necessitated moving their first seven home matches to Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium at Columbia University.[34]
Club chairman Matt Rizzetta has indicated that the club has had preliminary conversations with city officials and private developers on a location for a permanent stadium, which had been one of the required benchmarks before the club can move up to the second division.[33][2]
