History

On October 19, 2022, it was announced that a USL Championship franchise had been awarded to Milwaukee-based investors Kacmarcik Enterprises and Milwaukee Pro Soccer. At that time it was also announced that the club would begin play in the 2025 season at a newly-constructed 8,000-seat soccer-specific stadium in the upcoming Iron District MKE area.[1] The franchise is set to become the city's first professional, outdoor soccer team since the Milwaukee Rampage folded in 2002 and Milwaukee Wave United folded in 2004.[2]

A "Name the Team Campaign" created by ownership to hear fan suggestions for team names and branding was ongoing as of 2022.[2]
