“This is a monumental day for our club and the integration into the community as we officially launch our team's name and crest,” said Jordan Stuart, DC Power FC Club President via a club-issued press release. “Power FC's identity is deeply rooted in the dynamic spirit and resilience of its hometown, Washington, DC. As our nation's center of power, Washington, DC bears a unique responsibility. The responsibility to lead. To effect change. To inspire. This energy drives Power Football Club.”
The club also announced the hiring of former D.C. United player Frederic Brillant as D.C. Power's first head coach. Brilliant played professionally for 16 years.
“I would like to thank Power FC for their belief in me and giving me the backing I need to succeed in this role,” said Brillant in a team-issued statement.
“The DMV has become a second home to my family, and I am looking forward to returning to the area," said Brillant. "I am excited about the Super League project and believe this league will create so many opportunities for female athletes in this country. We are eager to hit the ground running. My priority is to assemble a competitive roster and establish a team identity and culture before the start of the season in August.”
The schedule for Power FC is yet to be announced, but the schedule for the Super League will run from August 2024 through the Spring of 2025.
