Minnesota Aurora FC fails to secure funding to join professional league
MINNEAPOLIS -- Despite their successful inaugural season, Minnesota Aurora FC will not be able to join a professional league just yet.
"Ultimately, the timeline proved too short for us to secure the necessary investments to join a professional league for 2024," the team said in a statement.
Aurora FC first announced its plans to join a professional league in October.
The team says it will continue to work towards its goal of professional league status while remaining focused on the upcoming 2023 USL-W season.
In its first season, Aurora FC lost just one game -- unfortunately, it was the championship. The undefeated season ended in an overtime heartbreaker at the hands of South Georgia Tormenta.
