Ottawa Fury FC recently announced their intentions to stay in the United Soccer League next season despite being the rumored eighth team in the Canadian Premier League.

Fury FC said that despite not joining for the inaugural season, the team would consider joining in the coming years. The team cited concerns with the uncertainty that the new league could be as stable as the USL.

Fury FC has been operating since 2011 and began play in the North American Soccer League in 2014. After the expected collapse of the NASL, the team moved to the USL in time for the 2017 USL season.

TD Place, the home of the Fury, has a capacity of 24,000. The stadium is shared with the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League. During the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada, TD Place hosted nine games including a quarterfinal match.

The league is set to begin in seven months and one more team is expected to join by then. Seven teams have been confirmed by the CanPL.
