# The Louisville Soccer Scene

Louisville is the Derby City's best-kept soccer secret — a passionate, multi-layered soccer market where Louisville City FC has become one of USL's most successful franchises while the youth scene quietly produces nationally competitive talent.

Louisville City FC's back-to-back USL Championship titles (2017, 2018) and Lynn Family Stadium, opened in 2020, have transformed soccer's profile in the city. The University of Louisville's strong ACC-level men's program, combined with a booming suburban youth scene and a growing Guatemalan and Bosnian immigrant soccer culture, makes Louisville far more serious about the beautiful game than most outsiders realize.
