Texoma FC is a planned American professional soccer team based in Sherman, Texas. First announced in 2023, the team plans to play in USL League One beginning in 2025 and USL W League in 2026 at Historic Bearcat Stadium.

History

[edit]

On October 23, 2023, the United Soccer League announced that North Sixth Group had been granted a USL League One expansion team in Sherman, Texas, to start play in the 2025 season followed by a women's pre-professional team in USL W League in 2026.[1][2] The team had been in the making for at least four months beforehand, with co-owners Simon Keizer and Ben Watson being soccer veterans with local ties to the city of Sherman.[3] The club will play in Historic Bearcat Stadium until a permanent stadium is built.

The club's name and logo were unveiled on December 14, 2023.[4]

On May 9, 2024, the club announced Adrian Forbes as the team's inaugural sporting director.[5] Forbes was announced to be the team's first-ever head coach on October 17, 2024.[6]
