About FC Cincinnati
FC Cincinnati is a professional soccer team that plays in Major League Soccer, having entered the league as its 24th team in 2019. MLS invited Cincinnati to the league as an expansion team in May 2018, giving the club one of the fastest run-ups to its first-division launch in league history – 277 days from invitation to its first game. The first team previously played its home games at the historic Nippert Stadium on the campus of the University of Cincinnati, while its $250 million, privately funded, 26,000-seat soccer-specific stadium is constructed in the West End neighborhood of Cincinnati. The new stadium is expected to open in Spring 2021.

The FC Cincinnati Academy is the fully-funded youth academy for professional Major League Soccer team, FC Cincinnati. The Academy consists of three age groups: Under-15s, Under-17s and Under-19s. In addition, the FC Cincinnati Academy also operates at a Pre-Academy level for the U-13 and U-14 age groups.  All five teams compete in MLS Next, an elite youth development platform that consists of 489 total teams across 113 clubs and six age groups in the United States. As is the case with other MLS clubs, the FC Cincinnati Academy provides a player pathway that could eventually provide talented players the opportunity to join FC Cincinnati at a professional level. The FCC Academy was founded in May 2019, shortly after the start of FC Cincinnati’s inaugural Major League Soccer season.

The teams operate out of the state-of-the-art Mercy Health Training Center (MHTC) in Milford, Ohio. Designed by MSA Sport, the $30 million, 24-acre facility includes three full-size, lighted soccer fields – including two stabilized natural grass surfaces and one synthetic turf surface – as well as a goalkeeper-specific training area.  The MLS team is housed in a 30,000 sq. ft., multilevel building abutting the fields, while the FCC Academy teams utilize a separate 4,000 sq. ft. wing of the building. Additionally, there is a 3,000 sq. ft. maintenance facility on the property.  In the design process, the MSA Sport design team benchmarked training grounds across the world, including the best in Europe, South America and Asia. The goal of the design meets the original goal to develop one of the premier and most progressive team facilities in Major League Soccer and North America.
