F.C. Indiana is a football club based in Goshen, Indiana. They split their home games between Goshen and Indianapolis. The club's women's team is a member of the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL). In 2005, F.C. Indiana became the second North American women's team ever to win league and cup double, by winning the WPSL national championship and the USASA US Open Cup national championship. (The Carolina Courage of now-defunct Women's United Soccer Association [WUSA] won the Founder's Cup and WUSA League Title in 2002.) FC Indiana enter the 2006 season as defending champions, having defeated host New England Mutiny 4-0 in the 2005 semifinals and California Storm 5-4 (featuring internationals Brandi Chastain, Leslie Osborne and Sissi) in the 2005 finals. Now well into the 2006 season, FC Indiana has failed to live up to its Top-5 Club World Ranking, relinquishing its dominance of the WPSL Central Conference to River Cities Futbol Club of St. Louis, Missouri.
