There are 3 Atlanta soccer clubs that are Confirmed, Planned or Rumored: Atlanta First Team SC 2019- The ownership group based in the Eastern metro area of Atlanta has expressed plans on launching a NWSL team in Dekalb County and have their matches in a soon-to-be constructed Muti Soccer Stadium facility referred to as Atlanta Sports City. They initially had an announcement in 2017, but it was delayed due to the drastically changing landscape of US professional soccer. The Group nows aims for a 2019 launch. Atlanta United FC- In its first season, the club has won the hearts of Atlanta with a massive following. Adding a NWSL team would add to the momentum and be a perfect fit since the MLS club's brand new stadium is located in the heart of downtown. As of now, it's not known if they are planning a NWSL side, but it looks like a good time to do so. Atlanta Silverbacks- An NPSL club just outside of Atlanta, with a devoted fanbase, already has a companion women's team named Atlanta Silvers Women. If the NPSL makes the jump going pro at possible NISA, then the women may follow as well.
