The Detroit City Futbol League was born out of a desire to bring together Detroit’s distinct neighborhoods for competition and fun and out of an appreciation for the beautiful game. Each of the league’s teams represents different historic neighborhoods in Detroit with a goal of bringing together neighbors while highlighting the unique communities that make up the city.

The league plays 8v8 adult (18+) co-ed soccer. The games are held at Belle Isle and Ft. Wayne within the city limits and followed by a rotating happy hour at various neighborhood bars across the city. While the focus of the league is recreational, each year the champion team is crowned at Copa Detroit.
