Modesto, CA (August 6, 2025) – Modesto City FC has been announced as the eighth club to join the 2025 NISA Pro Cup, according to the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA).

Founded in 2019, Modesto City FC is the first semi-professional soccer club in the city. The club has played in the NorCal Premier League, the United Premier Soccer League, the Southwest Premier League, and NISA Nation. Modesto City FC has also participated in the NISA Independent Cup in 2022 and 2023, and entered the qualifying rounds for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Expanding its reach, the club plans to introduce a men's team to Southern California and is also looking to add a women’s team in the Lightning League.

"Joining the NISA Pro Cup is a tremendous milestone for Modesto City Soccer Club," said CEO Christian Copland. "It's not just about stepping onto a bigger stage; it’s about putting our city, our players, and our community on the national soccer map. We’re proud to represent Modesto with heart and determination, and we’re ready to show the country what Valley soccer is all about."

The club has also recruited talent from the Modesto area, including David Montanez and Matthew Copland, who debuted for the team at age 13. Copland was later signed by Sacramento United of MLS Next. Several players from Modesto City have gone on to play for clubs in other leagues such as the Primera División in El Salvador, the Philippines Football League, USL Championship, and the Major Arena Soccer League.
