THE PEOPLE’S TEAM
[ About ]■
Miami United FC was founded with a bold mission: to give Miami a team that belongs to its people. Over the years, we’ve built a legacy of titles, international legends, and the strongest community in the city.
We’ve stayed true to our identity: passionate, united, and forward-thinking. Our story is not only about soccer—it’s about culture, family, and the city we call home.
[ HISTORY ]More Than a Club.
A Movement Since 2012.
In 2012, at a time when professional soccer had vanished from the city of Miami, Italian entrepreneur Roberto Saccá set out to rebuild what was lost. His goal was clear: to create a sustainable and community-driven soccer club that would reignite the passion for the sport and give the city something to believe in again.
That vision became Miami United FC—a club born from the heart of the people, powered by ambition, and fueled by the spirit of El Equipo del Pueblo. Starting from scratch, the team quickly rose to prominence, earning the title of Champion of Florida three times in a row (2014, 2015, 2016) and gaining international attention for its competitive drive and bold character.

A UNIQUE LEGACY.
Over the years, Miami United has built a unique legacy. The club has developed local talent while welcoming legendary players like Adriano (Brazil) and Julio César “Rambo” De León (Honduras). It has also made its mark globally with international friendlies against elite teams such as Calcio Catania, Brescia Calcio, Boca Juniors, Racing, River Plate, Peñarol, Olimpia, Pachuca, and Barcelona SC.
Miami United FC is also a proud six-time participant in the prestigious U.S. Open Cup, where it made history in 2018 by becoming the first NPSL club to reach the fourth round, competing against MLS team Orlando City. In November 2023, the team secured its seventh qualification for the 2024 edition after an undefeated qualifying run.
But Miami United is more than just a soccer team — it’s a force for good in the community. Through ongoing work with Autism Soccer, the club supports the development and inclusion of youth with autism, using the game to make a lasting impact off the field.
Today, Miami United FC stands as the oldest active soccer club in the city and a symbol of resilience, passion, and identity in Miami’s sports culture. And we’re just getting started.
