Wikipedia - Birmingham Legion FC
Birmingham Legion FC is an American professional soccer club based in Birmingham, Alabama, that competes in the USL Championship, the second division of American soccer. The team was established in August 2013 and played under the name Birmingham Hammers until 2018 and began their first professional season as Legion FC on March 10, 2019.
History
On August 9, 2017, the United Soccer League (now known as USL Championship), the Division II sanctioned league by the United States Soccer Federation, granted a team for Birmingham to begin play in the 2019 season. On January 17, 2018, the team name was revealed as Birmingham Legion FC, a reference to the historic Legion Field that opened in 1927. However, the team instead played at BBVA Field, the home of the UAB Blazers soccer program.
Oak Mountain High School graduate and Real Monarchs' star forward Chandler Hoffman signed on as the team's first player in July 2018. In August the team announced that Tom Soehn would be the first head coach of Birmingham Legion FC.
Their first professional game resulted in a 2–0 defeat against Bethlehem Steel FC on March 10, 2019.
During the 2023 U.S. Open Cup, Birmingham Legion FC defeated a Major League Soccer (MLS) side for the first time, with a 1-0 win over Charlotte FC in the round of 16. The game was played at Protective Stadium before a record home crowd of 12,722. Legion FC's U.S. Open Cup run was cut short by MLS team Inter Miami CF after a 0-1 loss at Protective Stadium in the quarter-final of the U.S. Open Cup, setting yet another record attendance of 18,418 spectators.
Birmingham Legion FC er et profesjonelt fotballag med base i Birmingham, Alabama. Laget ble grunnlagt i 2017 og spiller i USL Championship, det nest øverste nivået i det amerikanske seriefotballsystemet.
Legion FC har raskt blitt en styrke i USL Championship og har nådd sluttspillet i alle sine fire sesonger. I 2021 vant laget Eastern Division Championship og nådde Eastern Conference-finalen.
Laget ledes av hovedtrener Tom Soehn, som har lang erfaring i amerikansk fotball på høyt nivå. Han har tidligere trent Seattle Sounders, D.C. United og flere landslag på ungdomsnivå.
Kjernen i Legion FCs lag er en blanding av erfarne veteraner og lovende unge spillere. Noen av nøkkelspillerne inkluderer Angolan-amerikanske spiss Neco Brett, Honduras-amerikanske midtbanespiller Marlon Hairston og amerikanske forsvarer Aaron Long.
Birmingham Legion FC spiller sine hjemmekamper på Protective Stadium, et flersbruksstadion i sentrum av Birmingham. Laget har en lojal og støttende fanskare, og deres kamper tiltrekker seg regelmessig store folkemengder.
Med sin unge og talentfulle lagoppstilling, erfahrene trener og lidenskapelige fans, er Birmingham Legion FC i en god posisjon til å fortsette å hevde seg som et av de beste lagene i USAs fotballandslag.
