History


Oakland Roots SC launched their reserve club on December 9, 2019.[1] The concept of Project 51O was based on Nike's Project 40, which ran from 1997 to 2005 and sought to develop the U.S. national team player pool.[2] Project 51O will mirror parts of that development program, but with a community-based twist.[3]

Originally set to compete in the National Premier Soccer League for the 2020 season, the team only played one match, a win over Napa Valley 1839 FC,[4] before the season was halted and eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

On September 17, 2020, the team announced it would compete in USL League Two beginning with the 2021 season.[6] They later announced they would go on hiatus for that season along with the rest of the Southwest Division and begin League Two play in 2022.[7] For the Fall 2021 season, they added a team in the United Premier Soccer League to allow for year-round development, while still remaining part of USL League Two.[8]
