Detroit City FC is a professional soccer team based in Detroit, Michigan, competing in the USL Championship. The club has become a cultural phenomenon, playing its home matches at the historic Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck. Founded in 2012 by a group of supporters, the club's rise from the amateur NPSL to the professional USL Championship is a modern American soccer fairy tale. The team's identity, built on community ownership and an unwavering supporter culture, is its greatest strength.

The fan base, the Northern Guard Supporters, is legendary for creating a wall of sound and passion unmatched in American lower-division soccer.
