Core offering

The Miami FC operates a professional men's soccer club competing in the USL Championship, delivering live matchday entertainment, season memberships and individual match tickets at FIU's Pitbull Stadium. Beyond the first team, the club runs a youth soccer academy and futsal program for boys and girls, an online merchandise store for kits and apparel, and the fútbol305 community impact initiative serving Miami-Dade County. Revenue is generated from ticketing, corporate sponsorships, merchandise sales, and youth academy fees.

Product overview

Miami FC operates as a single unified product—Miami's longest-tenured professional soccer club competing in the USL Championship—augmented by several supporting programs. The core offering is live professional soccer at Pitbull Stadium, supported by a season membership ticketing product. The club extends its reach through ancillary offerings: the Miami FC Academy (youth development), the Miami FC Futsal Program (indoor training), the fútbol305™ community initiative (community engagement), and the Miami FC Store (merchandise). The club's mascot Golazo serves as a brand ambassador. These components together form a comprehensive soccer entertainment and community development ecosystem.
