Fresno Football Club was an American professional soccer team based in Fresno, California. Founded in 2017, the team was a member of the USL Championship, a second-tier league in the American Soccer Pyramid. Their first game took place on March 17, 2018.[1] The team folded on October 29, 2019, after the ownership group was unable to secure construction of a soccer-specific stadium.[2] On December 19, 2019, team ownership announced that it was searching for a new location in California for the 2021 USL Championship season.[3] On February 1, 2021, the team's franchise rights were transferred to Monterey Bay FC, an expansion USL Championship team based in Monterey County, California.[4]
