The United Soccer League (USL) and City of Pensacola have announced the intent to bring men’s and women’s professional soccer to Downtown Pensacola. The city will enter exclusive negotiations over the next year to evaluate the viability of supporting professional soccer teams and opportunities to enhance the community's entertainment options. This initial phase will address a number of factors, including funding and the location of a stadium, which has yet to be determined.
