Nashville FC (229554) is an American Hattrick club located in Tennessee, USA, and managed by dalepopp. Founded on 9 August 2022, the club currently competes in V.212 and has won VI.18 twice.

History

Nashville FC was founded on 9 August 2022 and won VI.18 in Seasons 82 and 85, earning promotion to V.212 on both occasions.

After returning to V.212 for Season 86, Nashville established itself as a regular contender in the series. The club recorded eight consecutive top-three finishes from Seasons 87 through 94, including four consecutive second-place finishes from Seasons 90 through 93. Nashville finished third in Season 94 and reached Round 8 of the USA Consolation Cup.

Crest

The overall shape and formation of the circular "N", along with the small center circle, represents a spinning record and pays respect to the club's "Music City" heritage. The fleur-de-lys comes from the city seal and represents the original French settlers of Nashville. The club's colors were chosen from the flag of Nashville, Tennessee.

Stadium

Nashville FC plays its home matches at Chris Jones Park in Tennessee, USA. The stadium has a capacity of 47,839 and was last improved on 24 May 2024.

The stadium is named in honor of real-world Nashville soccer figure Chris Jones, founder and president of the original supporter-owned Nashville FC, which began in 2013 and competed in the National Premier Soccer League. Jones remained involved as Nashville soccer moved into the professional ranks, serving as general manager of the USL Nashville SC organization and later as Nashville SC's Senior Director of Fan Engagement.

Support

The Roadies are the supporters of Nashville FC. As of August 2026, the fan club has 2,484 members.

The fan club is named for the real-life Nashville Roadies, an independent supporters group whose roots date to the supporter-owned Nashville FC era. The Roadies emerged in 2014 and continued supporting Nashville soccer as the club progressed from the amateur NPSL side to the professional Nashville SC organization and eventually Major League Soccer.

The Roadies adopted the motto "First in, last to leave," reflecting the group's origins with a supporter-owned club whose volunteers handled everything from setting up before matches to tearing down afterward. The group's name and motto were also inspired by Jackson Browne's song The Load-Out. Beyond matchday support, the Roadies developed a strong community-service mission, including efforts to make soccer more accessible to children in Nashville.
