Minneapolis City SC (known informally as Mpls City SC or The Crows) is an American soccer team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Founded in 2016, the team plays in the National Premier Soccer League, a national league at the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid. For their inaugural season, the team played in the regional Premier League of America.
Founded in 2016 as an offshoot of Stegman's Soccer Club, team managing director Dan Hoedeman stated that his goal with the team is to re-create the local feeling of the Minnesota Thunder's early days. As such, every player is a Minnesota resident and the team is owned by "members" who make important decisions for the team, such as the league, colors, logo and budget.
In their inaugural 2016 season in the PLA, the team finished at three wins, four draws and three losses, good for third place in the league's West Division. That October, they would win their first qualifying match for the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, defeating leaguemates Oakland County FC by a score of 2-1 in extra time.
On December 14, Minneapolis City SC announced it was joining the National Premier Soccer League for the 2017 season. The team will be a member of the North Conference in the Midwest Region
