Detroit City FC is a professional soccer club based in Detroit, Michigan, competing in the USL Championship. The team has forged a unique identity at Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck, creating one of the most intimidating atmospheres in American soccer. Founded in 2012, the club's colors are rouge and gold. Detroit City began in the amateur NPSL, where its supporter culture, led by the Northern Guard Supporters, became legendary for its tifo, smoke, and relentless noise. The club's key era involved dominating the NPSL and making deep runs in the U.S. Open Cup, famously defeating MLS side Columbus Crew in 2022. This period cemented DCFC's reputation as a giant-killer and a model for community-owned clubs. After joining the professional USL Championship in 2022, the modern era has seen Detroit City establish itself as a tough, defensively organized side that is notoriously difficult to beat at home. The team culture is the club's hallmark, with a fiercely loyal, activist-minded fan base that is integral to the club's soul. Detroit City FC is more than a soccer team; it is a cultural movement and a point of immense civic pride.
