The documented recordFC Fargo,
FC Fargo,

What is confirmed
A club with ambition and a short operating life.
Prepared by the FC Fargo Website Project · Last reviewed September 11, 2026
Historical evidence identifies FC Fargo / FC Fargo Soccer Club as an adult or semi-professional soccer organization serving Fargo–Moorhead. The club played an exhibition season in 2015 and participated in the American Premier League in 2016.
The old website supported tryouts, schedules, tickets, news, staff, sponsors, supporter merchandise, and contact. Contemporary sources identify Timothy “Tim” Singleton as founder, CEO, and owner. In August 2016, the club announced that day-to-day operations would cease for financial reasons.
Evidence rule: the owner confirms ownership of FC Fargo, this domain, and the listed social profiles. Match, venue, league, roster, sponsor, and third-party rights claims are still treated separately and require current evidence.

Later archive captures show a sale landing page, unrelated content, and a verification suspension before the owner-confirmed FC Fargo website was restored as this historical and community-interest project.
Unresolved history
Good archives preserve uncertainty, too.
Founded 2014 or established 2015?
Archived About copy describes the club as founded in 2014, while the preserved historical crest reads “Established 2015.” The sources reviewed do not explain the difference, so this site retains both facts rather than selecting one.
Which rights remain separate?
The owner confirms the FC Fargo company, domain, and listed social profiles. Third-party photography, sponsor marks, league rights, articles, and personal data remain separate and are not treated as transferred without their own authorization.
