Grand Rapids FC is a semi professional men’s soccer club playing in Grand Rapids MI. Founded in 2015, it began as a crowd funded attempt to bring a level of professional soccer to the city, led by now president Matt Roberts.

They played their first year, 2015, in the Great Lakes Premier League. The following year they moved up to the Great Lakes Conference of the NPSL’s Midwest Region. That same year was the best playoff performance the club has seen to date. Making it to the regional playoffs only to lose to the eventual national champion, AFC Cleveland, in penalties.
