Montgomery United

The YMCA of Greater Montgomery decided to change that, and in 2024 it set up a club and entered it in USL League Two for the 2025 season. The owner is not a fund or a businessman but a community organisation, and the ground reflects it: Emory Folmar YMCA Championship Stadium, with room for 4,000.

The Storm, in navy blue and gold, play in the South Central Division of the Southern Conference. Tate Dean coached them through the first season and left in September 2025. Magnun Silva took over for 2026.

The squad is built from two directions. Aidan Riley, a winger, came from the University of West Alabama for the opening year, and Felipe Santos, a central defensive midfielder from Florida Atlantic University, signed for 2026. Freddie Oliver made the longest trip: a midfielder from Kent, England, who had previously played for Dover Athletic.

The fixture that mattered first was against Dothan United SC. The two cities are joined by US Highway 231, and the road gave the match its name, the "231 Derby". The first one was played on 10 May 2025, during the club's debut season, so the rivalry began before the club had a single title to fight over.

Off the pitch, the YMCA added an academy in December 2025, launching a USL Academy Program. The first team has yet to win a trophy.
