Association Football Club Ann Arbor (AFC Ann Arbor) was founded in 2014 with the goal of creating a community based club that would promote the game on a larger scale.

The club was launched by a number of community members including former players, entrepreneurs, fans and families, creating a diverse ownership group, reflective of the greater Ann Arbor community.
After a successful first year in the regional Great Lakes Premier League (GLPL), the club made two major moves in the off-season hiring Head Coach & Sporting Director, Eric Rudland, as well as joining the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL).

In four seasons in the NPSL, a national league comprising of close to a hundred clubs, The Mighty Oak have finished top 16 (2016, 2019) as well as top 8 (in 2017 & 2018). The men have also won back-to-back Great Lakes Conference Champions (the only club in the conference to do so) in addition to back-to-back Midwest Region Finals appearances (the only club in the region to do so). In 2019 after qualifying for the playoffs for a fourth straight year, AFC Ann Arbor became the first and only club in the NPSL to make the playoffs four straight years, in their first four years in the league.
