Pensacola FC & Pensacola FC Academy to join The League for Clubs

The League for Clubs (TLfC) is thrilled to welcome both Pensacola FC and Pensacola FC Academy to the Gulf Coast Conference for the 2025 season.

Pensacola FC will play in the East Division of the Gulf Coast Conference and Pensacola FC Academy will play in the West Division.

Founded in 2013, Pensacola FC played in the Gulf Coast Premier League (GCPL) from 2017-19 and 2021-22. The club also competed in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) from 2021-24. The Pensacola FC Academy team has played the past two seasons in the GCPL’s Second Division.

“Pensacola FC and Pensacola FC Academy are excited to be part of the inaugural season of The League For Clubs,” said Pensacola FC owner Justin Witkin. “We anticipate that The League will elevate the standards for semi-professional soccer in the Gulf Coast region, offering a top-notch product for fans and experience for the players. We’re also excited to be joined in TLfC by some of our traditional rivals while also having the opportunity to rekindle some of our past rivalries.”
