Texoma FC is a men's semi-professional soccer club based in Sherman, Texas. Owned by Simon Keizer, the club competes in USL League Two, an amateur league in the United States league system. It plays its home games at Historic Bearcat Stadium. Texoma was founded as a fully-professional outfit in 2023, entering USL League One as an expansion team. It played a sole season in the league in 2025, before electing to move down to League Two.

History

On October 23, 2023, the United Soccer League announced that North Sixth Group had been granted a USL League One expansion team in Sherman, Texas, to start play in the 2025 season followed by a women's pre-professional team in USL W League in 2026. ^{[1] [2]} The team had been in the making for at least four months beforehand, with co-owners Simon Keizer and Ben Watson being soccer veterans with local ties to the city of Sherman. ^[3] The club will play in Historic Bearcat Stadium until a permanent stadium is built.

The club's name and logo were unveiled on December 14, 2023. ^[4]

On May 9, 2024, the club announced Adrian Forbes as the team's inaugural sporting director. ^[5] Forbes was announced to be the team's first-ever head coach on October 17, 2024, combining that position with his role as sporting director. ^{[6] [7]}

Texoma finished their inaugural season in League One in 12th, missing the playoffs. After the regular season concluded, the USL announced that Texoma was self-relegating to USL League Two for at least the 2026 sason. ^[8]

Colors and badge

The club's nickname, colors and crest were unveiled on December 14, 2023. The crest features two stylized birds: a Northern mockingbird and a Scissor-tailed flycatcher (the state birds of Texas and Oklahoma, respectively), standing over a soccer ball. The club colors are identified as magnolia and red; magnolia being a reference to Durant's nickname "the City of Magnolias" and red for the Red River that separates the two states. ^[9]
