About Us
Vermont Green Football Club is a men’s soccer club that kicked off its inaugural season in May 2022. The Club competes in USL League Two and plays home matches at the University of Vermont’s Virtue Field.
The Club is embarking on an ambitious mission to embed environmental justice into its competitive strategy, operational processes, and culture. The Club believes soccer can be a powerful catalyst for a more environmentally sustainable and socially just world.
We’ve had wonderful conversations with folks in the community and more and more folks are getting on board every day. We’d love for you to join in!
Whether you’re interested in volunteering, becoming a corporate partner, or just curious to learn more about the club, reach out by emailing club@vermontgreenfc.com.

The first step on that journey was a women’s exhibition match on June 22nd, 2024 at Virtue Field against FC Laval of Ligue1 Québec. The Green, coached by USWNT legend Sam Mewis, won in a dramatic penalty shoot-out in front of a sold out crowd.

We’ve outlined our environmental justice mission here.
The careful and efficient stewardship of resources. In everything we do as a club, we ask ourselves: do we meet the needs of the club in ways that are respectful of the needs of future generations and are restorative of our natural systems.
The ‘Green’ in our name serves to remind us of our commitment to our planet and community. We have less than 10 years to collectively make environmental justice the global standard in football and beyond. We hope that soon, the ‘Green’ in our name becomes only a reference to the natural beauty of the Green Mountain State.
A group of buds brought together by a love of soccer, Vermont, and our planet!
