“THERE’S NO BETTER SPORT IN THE WORLD TO UNITE A COMMUNITY AND IGNITE PASSION THAN SOCCER, AND RHODE ISLAND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MARKETS ON THE PLANET WITHOUT A PROFESSIONAL TEAM. OPPORTUNITIES DON’T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT, AND I’M BLESSED TO BE INVOLVED WITH SOME AMAZING SOCCER TEAMS AROUND THE WORLD, BUT THERE IS NO OPPORTUNITY THAT I’M MORE COMMITTED TO THAN BRINGING MEN’S PROFESSIONAL SOCCER TO RHODE ISLAND.”

Brett M. Johnson, Chairman

Rhode Island FC—a collection of professionals and sports enthusiasts committed to bringing men’s professional soccer to Rhode Island as an extension of the USL Championship.
