Club de Lyon FC is an American professional soccer club based in Daytona Beach, Florida, that plays in the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), on the third tier of the United States soccer league system.

History

The club began operations as a semi-professional side that was part of the inaugural season of NISA Nation, as well as the Premier division of UPSL.[1][2] After a highly successful 2022 season, in which it won the Florida Region championship of NISA Nation, and went undefeated in the regular season of UPSL, the club applied to join NISA's professional league, and was officially accepted in November 2022, to begin play in the 2023 season.[3]

Stadium

For their inaugural season in NISA, Club de Lyon will play its home matches in Daytona Beach, Florida, at Daytona Stadium.[4]
