[edit] History

Queen City FC was started by a few former professional and former college players looking for a side to support in the Greater Buffalo Area. The only high level football played is in Rochester, NY with the Rochester Raging Rhino's Soccer Club. Queen City FC started with the idea to have only a men's side competing in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) North Eastern Conference. Since the original planning of the club that started in 2005, QCFC has added a youth academy, created an afterschool program in conjunction with the Buffalo Public School system called Kick Smarts and have now added a Field Hockey club and are planning on adding a Lacrosse club to the ranks.
