Rhode Island FC
Rhode Island FC is an upcoming American professional soccer club located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The club is planned to debut in the USL Championship in 2024. History
On December 2, 2019, it was announced that a new soccer-specific stadium, named Tidewater Stadium, would be a centerpiece for a large development project in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The stadium is proposed to seat at least 10,000 fans and be connected to shops, apartments, offices, and a hotel in the $400-million plan. The initial goal was to have the team playing by 2023. Due to inflation and delays caused by COVID-19, the project was pushed back until 2022 when construction on the project began. The team is now expected to begin play in 2024. On November 14, 2022, the team announced their name as Rhode Island FC and revealed their team crest and colors. Former Bermuda national team captain Khano Smith, was named the team's first head coach and general manager on March 8, 2023. Rhode Island FC will play their inaugural 2024 season at Bryant University's Beirne Stadium while completing construction of the stadium at Tidewater Landing. Players and staff
