As part of the promotion/relegation pyramid with the Select League, the Challenger League provides a unique opportunity to build a club from the ground up and compete under a system modeled after the successful structure in England. This is your chance to shape a team’s identity, engage with your community, and experience the excitement of competitive football at a local level.

Key Details:

• Applications are open to both individuals and groups.

• Each application must be submitted in full along with a $200 refundable application fee.

  • The fee is refundable only if your application is denied.

• Deadline for applications: October 31, 2025.

• No pre-existing clubs may apply; all clubs must be created from scratch.

• Matches will be played under full FIFA rules, with the exception of seven substitutions allowed instead of five.

If you are ready to take on the rewarding challenge of club ownership, we encourage you to apply.
