“Oakland County is a great example of a club creating a positive impact in its community by actively engaging its fans,” said Joel Nash, Vice President of USL League Two. “With League Two’s similar emphasis on providing the best possible platform for teams to connect with their communities, Oakland County is a perfect addition to the league.”

In joining USL League Two, Oakland County FC will offer a proven pathway to professional soccer for its players, both those at the elite collegiate level and the top academy-age players from the region. On top of the valuable experience of playing in the nation’s most competitive pre-professional environment, League Two also provides growth opportunities for its coaches, executives and communities.

“We couldn’t be more excited for this move and what it means for our players,” said Oakland County FC Co-Owner Nick Morana. “But most importantly, this move will be fantastic for our fans. Our club is evolving through adversity, and we are more than ready for this new era.”
