[ HISTORY ]More Than a Club.
A Movement Since 2012.
In 2012, at a time when professional soccer had disappeared from the city of Miami, Italian entrepreneur Roberto Saccá took a bold step forward to rebuild what had been lost.
His vision was clear: to create a sustainable, competitive, and community-driven soccer club that would reignite passion for the game and give Miami a true team to believe in again.
From that vision, Miami United FC was born, El Equipo del Pueblo, a club built from the heart of the community, driven by ambition, and defined by identity.
Starting from scratch, Miami United immediately established itself as a winning organization. From the very beginning, the club competed and won in every league it participated in, including NPSL, UPSL, and NSL winning over 30 titles in his history.
