History[]

Bay Cities Football Club was founded in 2021 in Redwood City, California by the co-owners Anders Perez,[2] Ivan Martinez[3] and K.C. Watson.[4] During 2021 BCFC took part at the 2021 NISA Independent Cup,[5] where they finished 3rd of the Pacific Region, just behind PDX FC and Space United FC. Later that year the club announced Eric Bucchere as sporting director[6] and National Independent Soccer Association accepted Bay Cities' application for the 2022 season.[7][8] Bay Cities FC will become the 6th professional soccer club of Northern California after San Jose Earthquakes, Sacramento Republic FC, Oakland Roots, Monterey Bay FC and Central Valley Fuego FC.
