Ozark United FC

Ozark United FC was formed by co-founders Chris Martinovic and Warren Smith to bring both Men’s and Women’s professional soccer to the Northwest Arkansas region. Our goal is to build community and be a force for good in our region, leveraging the “beautiful game” as our vessel to leave an enduring positive impact to ultimately make Northwest Arkansas an even greater place to live, work, and play. Ozark United FC will build, own, and operate two professional clubs, including a USL Championship Men’s team and a USL Super League Women’s team. The USL Championship is the only sanctioned Division II league in the United States with 24 teams competing in the 2024 season. The USL Super League is a new Division One professional women’s soccer league that launched in August 2024 with eight inaugural teams, and additional teams set to join in subsequent seasons.
