Real Central New Jersey is a soccer club from Trenton, New Jersey, United States, founded in 2020. It competes in the Mid-Atlantic Division of USL League Two, and began playing in the 2021 season.[1]
The club marks the first soccer team to play in Mercer County since the Penn-Jersey Spirit of the now-disbanded American Professional Soccer League last played in 1991.[2] Like the Spirit, RCNJ will also play out of The College of New Jersey's Lions Stadium.[3] Although the club intends to play at TCNJ in the future, due to COVID-19 related issues, the club is playing its inaugural 2021 season at Mercer County Community College. It kicked off the season against in-state rivals the Ocean City Nor'easters,[4] losing 3–0.[5]
