Salvador Moran – Assistant coach Ramon Melin – Goalkeeper coach
Alberto Gomez – Fitness coach Gabriel Torricelli Vicente – Head PhysiotherapistOn June 4, NISA announced details for the 2020 Fall Season.[1] The eight member teams would be split into conferences, Eastern and Western, with the Force playing in the later.
The Fall regular season schedule was announced on July 31, 2020.[2] The team played two regular season games against the rest of the Western Conference.
All eight NISA teams qualified for the 2020 Fall tournament, which will be hosted at Keyworth Stadium in Detroit, Michigan, beginning on September 21 ending with the final on October 2.[3]
NISA announced initial spring season plans in early February 2021, including starting the season with a tournament in Chattanooga, Tennessee with a standard regular season to follow.[4] [5] The tournament, now called the NISA Legends Cup, was officially announced on March 10 and is scheduled to run between April 13 and 25.[6] All nine NISA members teams taking part in the Spring were divided into three team groups and played a round robin schedule. The highest placing group winner automatically qualified for the tournament final, while the second and third highest group winners played one-another in a semifinal to determine a second finalist.
The Force were drawn into Group 3 alongside New Amsterdam FC and tournament hosts Chattanooga FC.
The Spring Season schedule was announced on March 18 with each association member playing eight games, four home and four away, in a single round-robin format.[7]
See main article: 2021 U.S. Open Cup. As a team playing in a recognized professional league, the Force would normally be automatically qualified for the U.S. Open Cup. However, with the 2021 edition shorted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NISA has only been allotted 1 to 2 teams spots.[8] On March 29, U.S. Soccer announced 2020 Fall Champion Detroit City FC as NISA's representative in the tournament.[9]
