Louisville City FC is an American professional soccer club based in Louisville, Kentucky. They will play in the USL Pro league from the 2015 season onwards.
They are to be affiliated to Orlando City.[2] Their supporters group is called the Louisville Coopers.
The team will maintain the colors of the Orlando City franchise. Their first manager will be James O'Connor, previously a player-coach for Orlando City.[3]
The team will play home games at Louisville Slugger Field, a multi-use facility that primarily serves as home to the Louisville Bats, Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. Due to what would be limited viewing in its current baseball diamond configuration, seating will be reduced from the 13,131 capacity for baseball games.
