Cleveland Soccer Group has introduced Forest City Cleveland, a men's professional soccer club, as part of the developmental MLS Next Pro league. The club's name and crest are designed to represent Cleveland's past and future. Meanwhile, Lorain County's Leviathan FC has partnered with Inverness Caledonian Thistle to create international pathways for players and cultural exchange. The partnership could potentially lead to relationships with other international clubs. The group also plans to launch branding for a potential women's team and is seeking public funds for a 10,000-seat stadium near downtown.
