Atlanta NWSL Team Named Atlanta City FC, Debuts in 2028 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Arthur Blank's NWSL expansion club was revealed Monday as Atlanta City FC, according to Atlanta News First. The team's colors are Atlanta Red, Georgia Peach, Platinum Metallic and Black Char, and it is scheduled to begin play in 2028 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium as the league's 17th team. A fan event is set for Sunday, Oct. 4, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Southern Exchange Ballrooms downtown.
Why It Matters for Atlanta Professionals
A new pro franchise means a new sponsorship, hospitality and events market downtown, plus hiring on the business side before a ball is kicked. The Oct. 4 fan event is an easy early networking room for anyone who wants in on the club's launch.
