History
Grand Rapids FC (GRFC) was started in 2014 by a group of Grand Rapids residents as a community-funded project. The men's team's first season was in 2015 in the newly formed Great Lakes Premier League before moving to the National Premier Soccer League. After two successful seasons that showed average attendance figures over 4,000 each season, the owners announced on November 1, 2016 that they would be adding a women's team to the Grand Rapids FC brand. Their first season was in 2017 in the United Women's Soccer league.[1][3]
The Grand Rapids FC women won the 2017 UWS Championship in their inaugural season [4] on July 22, 2017 at their home stadium, defeating the defending champions Santa Clarita Blue Heat 3 goals to 1.
In December 2019, the Grand Rapids FC brand underwent restructuring. The ownership model was changed and the men's team changed leagues. During this time, the ownership of the women's side was transferred to Midwest United FC and their name was changed to reflect this change.[2][5]
Stadium
The team's current stadium is Midwest United FC Soccer Complex in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The team's original home field was at Grandville High School in Grandville, Michigan. They have also played home matches at Aquinas College and Houseman Field.
