About the Club
Port St. Lucie Sports Club is part of the continued expansion of the USL League One, one of the fastest-growing professional soccer leagues in the United States. As the league gains national momentum, Port St. Lucie is emerging as a key market, fueled by rapid population growth, economic development, and increasing demand for high-quality sports and entertainment.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of building a professional club from the ground up in a community that is energized, growing, and ready to rally behind a team of its own.

We are intentionally building this organization with professionals who know this market, understand the community, and bring established local relationships.
