Celtic FC America was an American soccer club based in Houston, Texas. Originally known as Houston Hurricanes FC, the club was established in December 1992 when owner Brendan Keyes announced he was moving his Galveston Pirate SC franchise to Houston.[1] In 2019, Keyes decided to go back to his roots and use his academy team name Celtic FC America for his first team. As of 2024, the team is likely defunct.
The Celts' regular kit colors were green and white horizontally striped shirts with white shorts and socks which derive from the iconic Celtic F.C. of Glasgow, Scotland. CFCA play home games at Clear Springs Stadium in League City, Texas.
