About Historic Columbus Crew Stadium
Historic Crew Stadium is the first ever soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer. In addition to hosting concerts, sporting events and programming throughout the year, the venue also serves as the home of Columbus Crew 2 of MLS NEXT Pro. Previously serving as the home of the Columbus Crew from 1999-2021, Historic Crew Stadium opened its doors on May 15, 1999 to a sellout crowd for a match against the New England Revolution. It has hosted numerous national and international events: eight U.S. Soccer FIFA World Cup Qualifiers – specifically four consecutive “Dos a Cero” victories for the U.S. over Mexico (2001, 2005, 2009, 2013) – FIFA Women’s World Cup matches, three MLS Cups (2001, 2015, 2020), two MLS All-Star Games and a number of concerts. It was named the world’s most influential stadium of the decade by Stadia Magazine in 2010. In 2008, the venue added a permanent stage in the North End, allowing for up to 35,000 fans to take in concerts and other marquee events.

Overview
Established in 2017, Toros FC Academy comprised of players from Grass roots to elite. Many of our academy players come from the south west Kansas area, while others come from out of state. With the growth of the Academy and the success of the program, we now have several players seeking to relocate from various states and countries to be part of our academy. With this transformation, we are looking for host families to welcome these academy players into their homes or stay in our residential Dorms. We hope to provide a focused environment that will allow the player to focus on his academics and soccer achievements.
