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^[update]. Names such as fan favorite MKE Tall Boys FC, Cream City FC, Milwaukee Brigade FC, and even Milwaukee Iron FC are being considered among others in the final phase of this naming process.^[2] The logo and branding for the club and its institution will be developed in conjunction with Cramer-Krasselt. The announcement of the club's branding is scheduled to take place at some point in 2024, with many of its fans growing impatient with the institution's silence on the matter. As of March 2025, the club still has not been named.

On November 29, 2023, it was announced that the inaugural season for Milwaukee would be moved back to 2026, as the construction and financing of the Iron District Stadium had been delayed.^[3]
