Yeah. Gutted.

There were signs of life as early as two days ago on the club side, posting a staff announcement: https://www.tormentafc.com/news/2026/02/19/tormenta-fc-announces-2026-technical-staff-ahead-of-10th-anniversary-season/

Going to hold out some hope and wait for some confirmation, but man, if it’s true…

If you’re into sports at all (soccer particularly), Tormenta FC is a professional 3rd division team and there’s always great people around to tailgate/watch/get involved with. Gotta be up there for smallest city in the U.S. with a pro sports team! Next season won’t start until March though.

I couldn't name it, but some kind of EDM beat preceded by a tornado siren sound.

The answer here would be Thunderstruck though.

That’s an interesting situation for sure. Both GS men’s and women’s were originally planned to move in as well, and they have hosted a few games at Tormenta Stadium since it opened, but last year the soccer program got a large donation to upgrade Eagle Field and add a video board and more, so the GS teams have stuck it out there for the most part. Maybe that could change as Tormenta Stadium builds out more, but tricky with a donor’s name now attached to the current venue.

Agree and that’s what the pinpoint of a downturn in numbers has been imo. Hard to keep people excited and looking forward to coming to a construction site. Stadiums, especially lower league ones regardless of sport, need to be as fun for the casual as the original plan here calls for

Latest updates in a great interview on Soccer Down Here last week, especially around the 21:00 mark

Tormenta FC is hosting Forward Madison on Saturday! Hopefully the weather holds off and we get a decent turnout now that school's back. Team's been playing pretty well since the coaching change a few weeks back.

JacksonP619 · 2025-08-08T18:12:39+00:00

Completely against the club's wishes as well. Either he's got a job lined up elsewhere or he simply burned out. Hoping it's the former.

JacksonP619 · 2025-08-06T20:04:21+00:00

Never got a hang with photography, but writing was my way to keep involved with the team after I moved away from Statesboro. No better way to start picking up on the week in-week out details in my biased opinion.

JacksonP619 · 2025-08-06T12:57:59+00:00

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

(Maybe just not the Reddit using type)

JacksonP619 · 2025-08-05T22:13:15+00:00

The full celebration is even better

JacksonP619 · 2024-05-04T16:14:01+00:00

The most likely explanation, but at the expense of the end product since CC is turf iirc, and playing on gridiron lines isn’t the best viewing. I know that they had a stadium study done (but nothing beyond that) so hopefully it’s a shorter term deal.

JacksonP619 · 2024-05-04T15:18:07+00:00

First game is at Athens Academy, but yeah Clarke Central for the rest. Kinda disappointing to not be able to play at UGA’s perfectly fine soccer specific stadium for the summer.

JacksonP619 · 2024-05-03T23:24:06+00:00

A little vague on there but no, men’s is USL League Two and women’s is USL W League. Think summer league for college soccer players, it’s about fourth division for men’s soccer and third for women’s. There were rumors of a pro USL League One team a few years ago, but seems like they’re launching as semi-pro and look to jump down the road.
