This article is about the soccer club established in 2011. For the historical football team (1862–65), see Oneida Football Club.
Oneida FC (Oneida Football Club) is a soccer club based in East Boston. The organisation was established in 2011 and plays its home games at East Boston Memorial Stadium, owned by the city of Boston. The field also hosts American football and baseball games.[2]
In the past, Oneida had a rugby league team which was dissolved in 2013. It played in the USA Rugby League (USARL) from 2011 to 2012 before pausing their operations. The team played their home games at Henry G. Steinbrenner '27 Stadium on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 2020 a separate organization, "Oneida County Football Club", was started in Utica, Oneida County, NY. They feature youth soccer teams. On June 4, 2022 the 2010 birth year team played there final tournament winning the prestigious Northstars Cup. There currently is a 2011–12 team.
The club operated under the leadership the USARL's other Boston-based team, the Boston Thirteens, but competed as a separate team. The establishment of Oneida FC put two USARL teams in Boston, and four in New England, an arrangement that lowered operating costs.[3][4] The team struggled on the field in their inaugural season but found success in recruiting players from other sports.[5]
Oneida finished the 2012 season in sixth place, missing the playoffs. They were initially announced to compete in 2013, but withdrew before the season, along with the New Haven Warriors.[6]
The organization also fielded an amateur soccer team under the "Oneida FC" banner in the Casa Soccer League of Boston, where they won the championship in 2011.[7] They moved to the Bay State Soccer League (BSSL) in 2013, where they currently compete in Division 2.[8]
