D.C. United officially unveiled their United Soccer League affiliate, Loudoun United FC, along with the team’s logo, at an event on Wednesday night. LUFC will begin play next year, as the team will open up a 5000 seat stadium at Philip A. Bolen Memorial Park, to go along with a training facility that both teams will utilize.
For many years, United has had an agreement with the Richmond Kickers, an USL side based in Virginia’s capital, as a way to get fringe players some time on the field. However, that partnership hasn’t always worked out for the best for United, since Richmond is an independent side with it’s own operations to worry about.
