A COMMUNITY CLUB
Founded in 2015, Livonia City FC is a 501c3 non-profit soccer club that aims to build a strong, sustainable organization that will look to provide a platform for local players to compete at a high level. Not only that, but our focus is on being integrated into the community through partnerships with local businesses and charities. We believe this will be the recipe for long-term stability and success!
LCFC got its start in the Michigan Premier Soccer League, winning the Open Division title in our first season on the field. This was the beginning of a grassroots club that would only continue to grow.
In 2017, we launched a women’s team in the Great Lakes Women’s League before joining our men’s team in the MPSL in 2019. In 2021, LCFC was a part of the inaugural season of the Midwest Premier League (MWPL) and continue to compete in the league in 2023. The LCFC women’s side was a part of United Women’s Soccer League 2 (UWS2) inaugural season during 2022 and made the jump into United Women’s Soccer League (UWS) in 2023.
