New Amsterdam Football Club was an American professional soccer club based in Hempstead, New York, that previously played in the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), the third tier of American soccer. New Amsterdam FC was established on April 20, 2020, and began play in July 2020. They were expelled from the league in January 2022 and folded.[1][2]
The club was founded by both Laurence Girard and Maximilian Mansfield, with Mansfield serving as sporting director. The name is a reference to New Amsterdam, the 17th-century Dutch settlement that eventually became New York City.[3]
