USL Pro Iowa is a proposed American professional soccer club located in Des Moines, Iowa. The club was planned to debut in the USL Championship in 2025. [1] [2] The team plans to play its games in a brand-new soccer-specific stadium that was originally scheduled to be completed in 2024. [1] [3]
Despite initially announcing plans for the stadium in 2019 with a 2022 start date and multiple government aid packages, [4] the team has been delayed repeatedly and as of July 2023 was seeking additional subsidies. [5] As of February 2024 [update] , the stadium is estimated to cost $95 million to construct and has been delayed indefinitely. [6] In August 2024, it was announced that a proposal for the stadium had been submitted; however, a funding gap of nearly $20 million remains, further delaying the proposed club. [7]
