ABOUT CORPUS CHRISTI FOOTBALL CLUB

Corpus Christi's Rich Soccer Tradition

Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend region has cultivated a rich soccer tradition. With over 75 youth soccer teams and academy and a Men’s Sunday Soccer League that has been active for close to 20 years comprising over 70 amateur soccer teams divided into 3 divisions. The Coastal Bend Youth Soccer association boasts over 10,000 members. Texas A&M Corpus Christi Islanders women soccer team have for many years been leaders in women’s collegiate soccer. Multiple exhibition matches have been played in Corpus Christi over the years including the two-time MLS Cup champion Houston Dynamo playing former PDL team the Laredo Heat in a pulsating and exciting Match up here in Corpus Christi that attracted over 7,000 fans. Despite our rich soccer history and our love for the beautiful game of soccer, Corpus Christi has never had a Soccer expansion team neither have we had a team participate in a nationally recognized soccer league.

Club History

The idea of forming and starting a professionally run soccer club in Corpus Christi was first thought of by a few friends in the summer of 2016 and by early 2017 Corpus Christi Football Club LLC was registered to bring a pre professional Soccer franchise to Corpus Christi Texas. On October 23, 2017, Corpus Christi FC (THE SHARKS) was awarded an Expansion Franchise for the Coastal Bend Region by the USL-PDL (USL League Two).

Starting competitive play in 2018, the club quickly established itself as one of the premier USL League Two teams across the United States. The club seeks to play an exciting brand of soccer featuring elite local, national and international players.

The Club in 2019 established the Corpus Christi FC Academy to develop youth talent in the Coastal Bend Region.
