History

The club was founded in 2013 through the merger of Kings Soccer Academy with Hammer FC, but its roots go back to 1993. [1] They have won a US National Youth championship. [2]

In 2020, they added a U23 team in the Ohio Valley Premier League, [3] winning the league's inaugural season in the Fall of 2020. [4] In 2021, they joined USL League Two, the top amateur division in the United States, while still planning to operate their OVPL team. [5] [6] The next step was to elevate the women's team, which they did in 2022, allowing them to compete in the USL W-League's inaugural season. With both men's and women's now apart of USL, Kings Hammer FC offers the highest level of soccer in Greater Cincinnati, apart from the MLS team FC Cincinnati. [7]
