Kicking off in 2027 as an independent professional club, The Island FC is creating a fully integrated soccer ecosystem rooted in community, culture, and long-term infrastructure investment — including a new modular stadium sports complex in Nassau County and expanded academy facilities across Long Island. More than just a club, The Island FC is building a modern sports and entertainment brand with a direct pathway from youth development to the professional game. Through its academy network, grassroots initiatives, and upcoming MLS NEXT Pro launch, the club is committed to creating opportunities for players, fans, and families across the region while establishing Long Island as a major soccer market in the U.S.
