History

Washington, D.C., was named as one of the eight inaugural locations in the Gainbridge Super League on May 16, 2023. [1] The club's name and branding were unveiled on May 20, 2024. [2] Its founding ownership group includes Jordan Stuart, a prominent real estate executive and minority owner of Loudoun United FC; Devin Talbott, a part owner of D.C. United; and local business owner Jan Adams. [2] Professional basketball player Angel Reese was announced as a part owner on May 21, 2024. [3] Additional owners announced include professional baseball player Josiah Gray, professional hockey player Hendrix Lapierre, actress Crystal Renee Hayslett, professional football player Vernon Davis, business and sports executive Paxton Baker, and professional soccer player Donovan Pines.

On September 7, 2024, Jorian Baucom scored the first goal in DC Power FC history during a 1-1 draw against Dallas Trinity FC.

On October 11, 2024, Katelyn Duong delivered a corner kick that ended up in the net in the final seconds to give DC Power FC a 1-0 win against Brooklyn FC (USL) for the Club's first win in DC Power FC history.

On May 8, 2025, DC Power FC defeated Dallas Trinity FC 3-2 behind a second half brace from Loza Abera. This followed a 1-0 victory against Brooklyn FC (USL) on a goal from Gianna Gourley and clean sheet from Morgan Aquino on April 26, 2025, giving DC Power FC its first back-to-back wins in Club History.

DC Power Football Club offers academy player contracts, giving local talents the opportunity to develop on the professional stage. Academy players may be selected for game day rosters as a unique benefit to play critical minutes with Power FC in Gainbridge Super League matches while maintaining amateurism-status and retention of NCAA-eligibility. With all Gainbridge Super League games being featured nationally on Peacock TV, Academy Players will receive unrivaled exposure while playing for Power FC. At just 14 years old, academy signing Valentina Perrotta made history as the youngest player to appear in the starting lineup for a Gainbridge Super League Club in Power FC's 0-1 loss to Carolina Ascent FC on April 8, 2025.

DC Power FC finished the inaugural season in 7th place on the table out of 8 teams. Gianna Gourley, acquired on loan from Fort Lauderdale United FC at the midseason break, led the team in goals with 7 (all coming in the second half of the season). Gourley would finish tied for 8th among the league leaders in goals scored for the entire season despite appearing in only 14 out of a total 28 games with DC Power FC. Goalkeeper Morgan Aquino finished 4th among the league leaders in registered saves for the season with 58 and midfielder Katelyn Duong finished 5th in the league in chances created with 37. Defender Susanna Fitch was selected to the Gainbridge Super League All-League First Team for her notable performance throughout the 2024/25 season. Fitch tallied a team-high 2,507 minutes through 28 appearances (28 started)
