“There is a lot to be excited about heading into our debut season in the USL Championship,” Head Coach and GM Trevor James said in a statement. “Match days in 2022 will bring a new level of competition and excitement for the team and supporters, both at Keyworth and away.”

Tickets are expected to go on sale at the end of January for single games, and season tickets are available at tickets.detcityfc.com and start at $150.

For those looking to get tickets to the opening match, there are four packs available that start at $49 and include a DCFC scarf.

Le Rouge moved to a professional team a couple of years ago and clinched four straight trophies in the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), the third tier of professional soccer in the U.S.

With the move to the USL Championship, more upgrades are expected to come to Keyworth Stadium.
