Toledo, Oh. & Tampa, Fla. – The United Soccer League announced today that Toledo Villa FC is expanding to field a USL W League team set to begin competing in the 2025 season. The club joined USL League Two in 2021 and USL Youth and Academy earlier this year.

The club was formed in 2017 with a vision to create a high quality on-field product, develop players who are committed to upholding the traditions of the game, inspire young athletes for the future, and become a model business that positively impacts the community.

“The USL W League is the nation's premier pre-professional women's soccer league. We are ecstatic to provide this opportunity to the incredibly talented women's soccer community in the Toledo Area,” said Aaron Swiggum, Toledo Villa FC Owner. “Showcasing our local talent will be a great experience for our community, and more importantly, will provide our local youth with an experience to see role models in the sport they love.”

Toledo Villa FC will play its home matches at Paul Hotmer Stadium in Toledo, Ohio, as a member of the Great Lakes Division.

“Toledo Villa FC has already shown great commitment to the development of soccer in the Toledo area, so we’re excited to see the club expand into the W League,” said Joel Nash, SVP of Youth and Pre-Professional Properties. “The club has shown its competitiveness and professionalism over the years, and now with a W League team, it will provide the opportunity to develop the women’s game at a high level.”
