The United Soccer League announced today that
Montgomery United FC will make its debut in USL League Two beginning in the 2025
season.
Montgomery United is the newly established pre-professional soccer component of the
YMCA of Greater Montgomery. The program was formed to create an elite pathway for
players aspiring to reach the professional level and to unite the community through the
beautiful game. The club looks to quickly become an integral part of the Montgomery
community and is dedicated to providing high-level soccer to the area.
“We are thrilled to be bringing the USL League Two to Montgomery and to Central
Alabama,” stated club General Manager Manny Sanchez. “This will be a great
opportunity for our community to watch high-level soccer and to help further grow the
game in the River Region. Having a senior-level team will also provide our area youth
players with a pathway to the next level, and allow local college players to enhance their
skills during the summer. We are truly looking forward to the opportunity to compete in
USL League”.
Montgomery United FC will play its home matches in the Emory Folmar YMCA
Championship Stadium located in Montgomery, Alabama, as a member of the South
Central Division.
“Of course, I can attest to the constantly growing soccer community in Alabama” said
Joel Nash, SVP of Youth and Pre-Professional Properties. “It’s always an exciting thing
to be able to welcome a League Two club there, and the Montgomery United FC group
is putting their people at the forefront. I can’t wait to see what they do in our league.”
