A Louisville City FC blog

All good things must come to an end, unfortunately. With Saint Louis closing up shop at the end of the season, this match would be the last chapter in the Kings’ Cup saga. It was a rivalry dominated by Lou City. Saint Louis had only won two times in the 15 total matches played between the clubs since 2015. Besides the sentimental and the fan-created cup, both teams were playing for the postseason. Louisville was almost guaranteed first in the group. Getting a win would help t

The day is finally here. Tomorrow, Lou City takes on regional frenemies, Saint Louis FC, one last time. This will be Morados’s final trip to STL for a Kings’ Cup encounter, as Saint Louis FC is folding at the end of the season because of the imminent arrival of a new MLS franchise in the city. Rivalries like these are special to both the fans and the players, and they will be missed. The fact that this will be the last clash adds a bit of an extra incentive to the match. City

Earlier this year, Soccer Holdings, the parent company of Racing Louisville FC and Louisville City FC, created a Diversity, Opportunity and Inclusion Committee as part of an effort to take part and serve as an agent of change in the community. Stemming from the Black Lives Matter movement, they have committed themselves to proactively supporting addressing the race-related issues our country faces. As part of this, they committed to a monthly year-long speaker series. The fir

In August, Christy Holly was named as Racing Louisville FC’s first head coach. To help the fans to get to know Coach Holly, a virtual meet and greet session was held for season ticket holders (good old Zoom). Coach Holly covered many topics including his history, tactical preferences, coaching role models, thoughts on the academy, women in leadership roles, and his community engagement plans. If you ever have an opportunity to attend a session like this, it’s highly encourage

In a bit of a surprise move, Louisville City has acquired veteran midfielder Kenney Walker on loan from Indy Eleven for the rest of the 2020 season. Walker is no stranger to the city of Louisville. He spent his college years playing for UofL. In 2012, he was the 38th selection in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft for the LA Galaxy. From 2012 to 2015, he registered 17 appearances for the MLS side. During that time, he had several loan spells to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, Carolina Rai

On Saturday, Louisville City took on Memphis 901 in their final non-Group E opponent of the 2020 regular season. Coming off two wins over Indy and a win against Saint Louis, City entered the match red hot and was looking to keep that momentum going into the playoffs. Memphis, meanwhile, has had a rough time in Group G and recently parted ways with their head coach. Tim Howard’s team was already 0-2 against Louisville, and the third encounter was not looking promising. Given t

With a playoff spot all but secured, Louisville City returns home on Saturday to take on their last non-Group E opponent of the 2020 regular season. It will be Memphis 901 taking the trip north to Lynn Family Stadium. The 901, members of Group G, have struggled and find themselves last in their group and just parted with their head coach only a few days ago. Although it sounds like this may be a walk in the park for Morados, they have not yet officially clinched the playoffs

On Wednesday, the two Group E powerhouses battled it out for the coveted first place spot. Louisville City, back on the road again, took on second place Indy Eleven in the final regular-season LIPAFC. With only one point separating the two sides, the winner would find themselves in first. Indy, who suffered a humiliating defeat to Lou City during their last encounter in Lucas Oil, was out for revenge and looking for their first win over City since 2018. Between playing at hom

Louisville City is loading up the bus and hitting the road again for the fourth and final regular-season installment of the Louisville Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest of 2020. While both squads seem poised for a postseason spot, there is still plenty to play for in the rest of the regular season. Neither team has punched their ticket yet, and the difference between first in the group and second will determine their Group F opponent. The second seed in Grou

After two matches on the road, Louisville City found themselves back in the comfort of Lynn Family Stadium for another critical Group E matchup. After a questionable win by Indy Eleven over Sporting Kansas City, the outcome of Saturday’s match against Saint Louis would determine if City could jump back into first or fall into third. Saint Louis has proven to be a worth adversary to Louisville City this weekend, having served Morados a loss at home and a draw back in STL. With

After two games on the road, Louisville City is back in the comfort of Lynn Family Stadium to take on Saint Louis FC in the second to last installment of the King's Cup. Both Lou City and Saint Louis are coming off of wins (to Indy and Sporting KC ). With the tightening race for the top two spots in Group E, both clubs will need a win. On the season, Louisville is 0-1-1 against Saint Louis. The loss occurred during the second match of the restart and City has improved since t

On Saturday, Louisville City was off to Indianapolis for the third LIPAFC installment of 2020. With a St Louis win over Sporting Kansas on Friday, City found themselves in third and required a win to take jump both St Louis and Indy Eleven for first in Group E. The number of opportunities to breakaway in the group is dwindling as the regular season approaches its end. Their form has been good (unbeaten in five) but it needs to continue to secure a postseason spot. Between the

It’s on to the next installment of the Louisville-Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest. This time, Louisville City will be traveling up to Indianapolis to take on Indy Eleven at Lucas Oil Stadium. Lou City produced a draw and a win in the previous two LIPAFCs. The pressure will be on to come away from this match with something to show for it. A draw in St Louis kept Morados behind Indy in the standing. With St Louis FC only two points behind, it will be importa
