Port City FC is an American semi-professional soccer club based in Wilmington, North Carolina that competes in the National Premier Soccer League.

History

The club was founded in 2014 as "Biloxi City Football Club". Joao Johanning Mora, along with partners Joey Lipoff and Eion Dockery, formed Biloxi City FC as a semi-professional club as a nonprofit alternative for the North Carolina's northeastern coastal soccer community.[1] Port City FC plans to launch a Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) expansion team this summer, embarking on an exhibition season with six to eight matches.[2]

Club culture

In 2025 Port City FC introduced a new logo that blended its earlier identity with a more modern, European-style presentation. The crest used a handcrafted anchor as its central feature. The design maintained continuity with the previous emblem while adopting a more professional aesthetic similar to those used by MLS, USL, and leading European clubs.[3]
