Port City FC is an American semi-professional soccer club based in Wilmington, North Carolina that competes in the National Premier Soccer League.

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 2014 as Port City Football Club. Joao Johanning Mora, along with partners Joey Lipoff and Eion Dockery, formed Port City City FC as a semi-professional club as a nonprofit alternative for the North Carolina's northeastern coastal soccer community.[1] Port City FC plans to launch a Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) expansion team this summer, embarking on an exhibition season with six to eight matches.[2]
