The vision? A movement to unify the greater NC Core area through the highest level of competitive soccer in the region –and you’re at the forefront of what happens next. Whether you grew up here or are brand new to the area, this is the time to put our home on the map in a way it’s never been before!
Welcome to Truist Point, home of the Carolina Core FC (CCFC). We are so glad you are here to support the Foxes! If you are here to support the other team, although we may question your life choices, we are glad you are here, too. While these upcoming 90 plus minutes are all about soccer, CCFC is more than just a soccer club and Truist Point is more than just a stadium in a small town. Truist Point stadium was born in 2016 out of the dire need of our city to revitalize its downtown to bring people and jobs back to its core. In 2022, out of fierce passion to bring more access to opportunity and to create more jobs in our core, CCFC was started as an independent club of MLS NEXT Pro. CCFC and the league are committed to driving a new era of North American soccer and offer exciting, unprecedented opportunities to players, coaches, and sports business professionals. CCFC is dedicated to the development and career advancement of every individual that comes to and through our club, not just our players. And through the vehicle of soccer, we are bringing people, yourself included, into the heart of our city to drive upward economic mobility so that every person in our community has access to opportunities that enrich their lives. We hope that you have an exceptional experience at our stadium, and we thank you for helping us grow our Carolina Core community and through the beautiful game!

From its inception, CCFC’s vision has been clear: build a true professional pathway in the Carolina Core. What began with the launch of a men’s MLS Next Pro team has evolved into a vertically integrated development model, from recreation to classic, to MLS NEXT Academy Division, to MLS NEXT Homegrown Division, and ultimately to the professional ranks. CCFC Academy launched with the MLS NEXT league for the 2024 season starting with two teams - U13 and U14. Entering year three, CCFC will include U13, U14, U15, U17, and U19 age groups in the MLS NEXT Homegrown Division. MLS NEXT Homegrown represents the highest level of boys youth soccer in the United States. We are proud to be the first non-MLS team to make our MLS Next Academy free for each player, aiming to break down the financial barriers typically associated with high-level youth soccer and provide young players with an unprecedented opportunity to pursue their dreams. In just two seasons, CCFC’s Homegrown teams have earned national rankings, postseason appearances, and individual player invitations to U.S. Youth National Team identification events - proof that elite-level development can thrive in the Core.
The expanded MLS NEXT Homegrown Division will operate alongside CCFC’s existing MLS NEXT Academy Division and Classic programming at each of the age groups, ensuring competitive pathways for players across multiple aspiration and development levels within one unified club structure. Importantly, the CCFC Academy remains committed to ensuring access to top-tier competition. The club will continue to offer substantial support through merit-based and financial-need scholarships, reinforcing its belief that talent and work ethic - not financial circumstance - should determine opportunity.
