Port St. Lucie Sports Club is an American professional soccer club based in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Founded and co-owned by Agostina Galimberti, Gustavo Suárez, and Paulo Suárez, the club plans to field a team into USL League One, a men's Division 3 league in the United States league system, in the 2027 season. It also plans to field a women's team in the future. It will play its home games at the Walton & One Stadium.
The club was founded as an anchor tenant for the stadium, which serves as the centerpiece of a broader mixed-use real estate development project by the Port St. Lucie City Council. Its crest, a badge depicting an anchor, references the Treasure Coast.
Port St. Lucie SC was founded by Argentine[1] entrepreneurs Agostina Galimberti, Gustavo Suárez, and his son Paulo in 2025, with financial backing from a group of investors.[2] It was established as the anchor tenant for a soccer-specific stadium at the Port St. Lucie City Council's Walton & One mixed-use real estate development project.[3] Billed by the council as the project's centerpiece, the stadium's construction was procured through a public–private partnership with a consortium, Ebenezer Stadium LLC, who'll be reimbursed for half of its $55 million cost by the council's redevelopment agency for twenty years following its completion.[3][4]
Satisfied by this arrangement, the United Soccer League (USL) granted USL League One franchise rights to Port St. Lucie SC in October 2025.[5][6] At a special meeting of council at the MidFlorida Event Center that same month, the club's establishment and enfranchisement, along with the stadium plans, were simultaneously announced to the public.[7][8] Port St. Lucie SC plans to commence play in USL League One in the 2027 season. A women's team is also being planned by the club to commence play afterwards.[4][9]
Identity
The club's full name is the Port St. Lucie Sports Club.[5][6] Its branding uses aquamarine and black as its primary colors, with white and a shade of red referred to as "red marine" used as accents.[6][9] The club's crest, designed by Matthew Wolff,[10] depicting an anchor, pays homage to the maritime iconography of the Treasure Coast, where the club is situated.[2][8]
Organization
Stadium
