USL League Two announced on Tuesday following the league’s Executive Committee meeting that the 2021 regular season will see a majority of the 12 divisions kick off on or about May 1. Most divisions will host a traditional 14-game slate running across ten weeks through the end of mid-July, while some could see an adjusted season length, calendar and game count.
“The health and safety of everyone involved with our clubs remain our top priority,” said Joel Nash, Vice President of USL League Two. “We are working with every club and division to ensure they have a safe path to competing in League Two in 2021. We’re delighted to see the positive momentum and the resolve that all of our clubs have shown through these challenging times.”
Further announcements on additional division-specific scheduling and playoff structure will be made in the coming months and the league will continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in the event that alterations to the format need to be made.
Led by Head Coach Tom Morris, Tormenta FC 2 is the club’s pre-professional team that seeks to play an exciting brand of soccer featuring elite local, national and international players. Since beginning play in 2016, TFC 2 has helped nearly 50 players achieve their professional dreams. In 2018, TFC 2 finished its season as champions of the Deep South Division. In 2019, TFC 2 repeated as Deep South Division champions and also won the League Two Southern Conference title, reaching the League Two Semifinals for the first time in club history.
