Port City FC is an American semi-professional soccer club based in Wilmington, North Carolina that competes in the National Premier Soccer League.

History

The club was founded in 2014 as Port City Football Club. Joao Johanning Mora, along with partners Joey Lipoff and Eion Dockery, formed Port City City FC as a semi-professional club as a nonprofit alternative for the North Carolina's northeastern coastal soccer community.[1] Port City FC plans to launch a Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) expansion team this summer, embarking on an exhibition season with six to eight matches.[2]
