USL Pro Iowa is a proposed American professional soccer club located in Des Moines, Iowa. The club was planned to debut in the USL Championship in 2025.[1][2] The team plans to play its games in a brand-new soccer-specific stadium that was originally scheduled to be completed in 2024.[1][3]
Despite initially announcing plans for the stadium in 2019 with a 2022 start date and multiple government aid packages,[4] the team has been delayed repeatedly and as of July 2023 was seeking additional subsidies.[5] As of February 2024[update], the stadium is estimated to cost $150 million to construct and would not be finished until after 2025.[6]
