Name the Team Contest in Final Stages for Albany’s Newest Professional Team

Staff Report

Wednesday, August 9th, 2023

The ownership group for Albany’s newest professional team has announced one final opportunity for fans to participate in the naming of the team. Set to compete in the National Indoor Soccer League (NISL), Albany was named as the first expansion market for the league’s 2024 season last month.

Members of the local community have been engaged with the process of naming the team since it was first announced as a new tenant for the Albany Civic Center, part of the Flint River Entertainment Complex. Like all other NISL clubs, every game day will feature a double header of action that includes both a men’s and women’s contest.

The ownership group has narrowed down the suggestions from those previously submitted, with Albany Soul and Albany Aces remaining the final options in contention to be the team’s name. Fans are now asked to cast their votes between the two by visiting Vote On Team Name- Albany, GA.  Voting will remain open through Thursday at 11:59 pm EST. The final tally of votes will determine the team’s name and will be announced at a yet to be scheduled press conference. 

More details about the NISL’s new club in Albany will be released in the upcoming months including the unveiling of the team's name, information about the ownership group, front office and coaching hire announcements, the home season schedule, ticketing information, and more.
