Earlier this year, NWSL Atlanta acquired 33 acres of land in Marietta, valued at $21 million, to construct a new training facility. The development will include a 38,000 square foot building, four soccer fields, and two half-pitches, located near Atlanta United’s Children Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground.
Arthur M. Blank stated, "When we were awarded an NWSL franchise, our goal was to build a world-class club with a brand that reflects our city’s strength, diversity and spirit. We can’t wait for Atlanta City FC to take the pitch in a few short years.”
The team’s crest features a Phoenix, symbolizing Atlanta's resilience, with a hidden A in its center, surrounded by Dogwood blossoms and roots that represent the city’s historical foundation. Atlanta City FC is set to officially debut in 2028.
