History
On October 23, 2023, the United Soccer League announced that North Sixth Group had been granted a USL League One expansion team in Sherman, Texas, to start play in the 2025 season followed by a women's pre-professional team in USL W League in 2026.[1][2] The team had been in the making for at least four months beforehand, with co-owners Simon Keizer and Ben Watson being soccer veterans with local ties to the city of Sherman.[3] The club will play in Historic Bearcat Stadium until a permanent stadium is built. The club's name and logo were unveiled on December 14, 2023.[4] On May 9, 2024, the club announced Adrian Forbes as the team's inaugural sporting director.[5] Forbes was announced to be the team's first-ever head coach on October 17, 2024, combining that position with his role as sporting director.[6][7]
