Dakota Fusion FC

Dakota Fusion Futbol Club is a soccer team based in Fargo, North Dakota. The team was founded in 2016 by Sajid and Amanda Ghauri and plays in the National Premier Soccer League and Women's Premier Soccer League

History
Founded February 13th 2016 by Sajid and Amanda Ghauri, with the intent of providing an outlet for the young talent of the Red River Valley.

The name, and the club motto "A fusion of cultures", are a reflection of the Ghauri family history as immigrants and the children of immigrants.

Sajid Ghauri had contributed to the local youth soccer club Tri City Storm and funded travelling teams prior to the club's foundation. The 2017 season saw the club make the NPSL playoffs, under the management of Jim Robbins. The area has no NCAA D1 men's soccer and the most notable Fusion player to date is Jacob Weiler, who played part of a season after graduating from Nebraska Omaha before joining a semi-pro club in Germany.

2018 saw the club begin play in the WPSL, although it took until 2019 for that side to register a win. Two of the owners' four children have played for the WPSL side - which gather their players from North Dakota State University in D1 as well as the programs of the Northern Sun D2 conference.

Stadium
Jim Gotta Stadium is the home stadium of Moorhead High School football and soccer. Moorhead, MN is next door to Fargo. The High School stadia in North Dakota are unavailable to the club for a variety of reasons.
