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).
On October 25th, 2018, AFCAA announced the addition of a women’s semi-pro side, an exciting move heading into the fifth year of the club. The inaugural goal for the women’s side came from former Japanese Women’s National Team player, Mami Yamaguchi. After the inaugural season for the women were complete, The Mighty Oak announced a promotion from within the club, seeing Boyzzz Khumalo appointed as the women’s new head coach.
On November 9th, 2021, AFCAA announced a move to the newly-formed USLW league, bringing our men’s and women’s teams under the same organizational umbrella at the league level.
The women’s side earned their first piece of silverware on July 6, 2022, with a 5-1 thumping of Flint City AFC on the road in the Michigan Milk Cup women’s tournament final.
