This is where development and winning collide.

Our first teams compete in the pre-professional USL League Two and USL W League. Home matches are played at Founders Field.

What differentiates our pre-professional opportunities from others is our commitment to development, style, and sophistication. As a club, our goal is to have our First Teams comprised of 50% Homegrown talent.

We believe soccer is meant to entertain. Our fans will be treated to a possession-based, attack-minded style of play.

Join the First Teams

Players will commit to a May-July USL season, with training 3x per week and 10 games minimum.

The club will help those outside Pittsburgh find summer lodging and internship opportunities. Players are not compensated for competing with the team. All international players must secure their own Visa.

We are always seeking new players, as our squads compete in other competitions, such as the U.S. Open Cup, year-round.

To discuss opportunities to join or have a trial, contact our Recruitment Coordinator, James Faint at james.faint@steelcityfc.com.
