USL Championship Expands to Iowa
The USL has officially granted an expansion franchise to Des Moines, Iowa!
Founding Donors
The Mission
Design and build an iconic stadium that energizes Iowa’s economy and unites people through shared experiences.
The Vision
A destination that lives at the junction of sports and culture, captivating Iowans across generations.
Stadium Timeline Updated
The Iowa Soccer Development Foundation confirmed that the Pro Iowa Stadium and Global Plaza, originally planned to open in 2024, will now open in early 2025.
The Pitch for Des Moines’ Newest District
The project will reinforce Central Iowa’s commitment to providing amenities that enhance our community. A USL Championship team will complement legacy projects (i.e., Central Iowa Water Trails, Lauridsen Skatepark) already developing in Downtown Des Moines, which help brand our city as a cultural and sports destination.
Expanding Des Moines’ National Reach
- Attract new talent and celebrate diversity
- Boost civic pride for a growing city
- Create a magnet for new business development
- Give soccer-hungry fans the experience they crave
