The team, which was named Greensboro Dynamo until 1996, [1] [2] was owned by Neil Macpherson, a passionate follower and former shareholder of English football club Nottingham Forest, as could be seen from the similarities between the crest of Greensboro Dynamo and the crest of Forest. [3]
In 2018, the Carolina Dynamo merged with NC Fusion to form North Carolina Fusion U-23. The team would go on to win four conference titles, four division titles and make one national final appearance. [1] [2]
In 2023, the club was purchased by a private group who rebranded the Club as Salem City FC, seeking to link the team more directly with Winston-Salem. [1] [2]
