History
Fort Wayne FC was founded by a group of local business people who wanted to provide a stepping stone for young and talented soccer players. In 2019, the club applied to and joined the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) as an expansion team for the 2020 season.[3] In a public announcement on September 9, 2019, City of Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry introduced the club to the city and Fort Wayne FC's president Dr. Erik Magner introduced Greg Mauch as the club's general manager.[4][5][6] On December 19, 2019, the club announced Nick Potter and Russ Lawson as the club's assistant coaches.[7]
On January 29, 2020, the club introduced Jeff Richey as the goalkeeper coach.[8] Two weeks later, FWFC announced Mike Avery as the club's head coach.[9][10][11]
On March 26, 2020, the NPSL announced the cancellation of the 2020 summer session due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12][13][14]
On October 28, 2020, USL League Two announced its addition of Fort Wayne FC into their league for the 2021 and 2022 season. It was also announced that Fort Wayne native and former United States men's national soccer team and Major League Soccer (MLS) player DaMarcus Beasley would be a co-owner of the club. [15][16][17] The club plans to join USL League One by 2023.[18][17]

On May 23rd, 2021, the club played their first-ever home match in a 2-1 loss to Toledo Villa FC, where the club's first goal was scored by forward Noe Garcia in front of a crowd of over 2,700.[19]

In 2022, Fort Wayne FC signed a multi-year agreement with global sports company, PUMA, as their official apparel partner.
“Fort Wayne FC is extremely excited to enter this new partnership with PUMA. Their brand values and what they stand for on and off the pitch absolutely aligns with our club,” commented DaMarcus Beasley, owner and sports operations director. “This partnership isn’t just about the sport but how together we can inspire the next generation through the game of football. Their commitment to supporting our community efforts is what makes this a beautiful partnership. We are thrilled to wear the PUMA shirt and look forward to next year and beyond,” added Beasley.
The 2022 PUMA CUP branded home kit featured a bold design that incorporated a wavy design in royal blue and the away featured PUMA's Team Liga 25 red kit.
Fort Wayne FC's 2021 home kit was white, away kit was blue, and the goalkeeper's kit was red. The three-wave lines on the club's uniform jersey sleeves, shorts and socks represent the three rivers, St. Mary's River, St. Joseph River and Maumee River, of Fort Wayne.[21] Symbols of the flag of Indiana, the flaming torch and its stars, can be found in front of the Fort Wayne FC uniform jersey.[22]
