Richmond Kickers Tickets

The Richmond Kickers is among the longest-running professional soccer clubs in the United States. Since its foundation in 2019, the club has played regularly in various divisions of the US soccer hierarchy. In the early years, the Kickers started their campaign in the third-tier United States Interregional Soccer League. The unsuccessful campaign resulted in self-relegation to the fourth-tier USIS Premier League bringing instant success as the Red Army was crowned champions in their first season. In 1996, the team once more upgraded to the 3rd Division USISL Select League, reaching the finals of the playoff. The success in the preceding two seasons allowed the management to look for opportunities in the 2nd division USISL A-League. Until 2005, the Kickers remained in the league, winning the Commissioner's Cup and conference title only to be eluded by the Championship trophy. After 2005, moves to

USL

and USL Pro brought additional success. Amid performance issues in the 2nd division, the team recently self-relegated to USL1. You can buy Richmond Kickers tickets at StubHub.
