Port City FC is an American semi-professional soccer club based in Wilmington, North Carolina that competes in the National Premier Soccer League.
History
[edit]The club was founded in 2014 as Biloxi City Football Club. Joao Johanning Mora, along with partners Joey Lipoff and Eion Dockery, formed Biloxi City FC as a semi-professional club as a nonprofit alternative for the North Carolina's northeastern coastal soccer community.[1] Port City FC plans to launch a Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) expansion team this[which?] summer, embarking on an exhibition season with six to eight matches.[2]
Club culture
[edit]Logo
[edit]In 2025 Port City FC introduced a new logo that blended its earlier identity with a more modern, European-style presentation. The crest used a handcrafted anchor as its central feature. The design maintained continuity with the previous emblem while adopting a more professional aesthetic similar to those used by MLS, USL, and leading European clubs.[3]
