Men's team history

In May 2021, USL League Two announced CITY as its newest team for the 2022 season.[1] The team was the third from Illinois to compete in the league's Heartland Division. In early 2022 CITY also joined the Midwest Premier League, part of the United States Adult Soccer Association.[2]

The team's second season in USL saw CITY win the Heartland Division championship for the first time with a regular season record of 11 wins and one loss.[3] As the team with the best record that season CITY was also named the 2023 USL League Two regular season champion. In the playoffs CITY won its opening match but lost to Flint City Bucks in the conference semifinals.

CITY qualified for its first U.S. Open Cup in 2024 based on its league results from the previous season.[4]
