The Tulsa Derby is an American soccer rivalry started in 2022[1] between the two clubs based in Tulsa, Oklahoma: Tulsa Athletic and FC Tulsa.
History[edit]
Tulsa Athletic is an American soccer team based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. 2013 was their inaugural season in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL)[2], which is a national league at the fourth tier of the American soccer pyramid. They compete in the NPSL's Heartland Conference. The team maintains amateur status under NPSL rules, allowing college players to participate without losing their collegiate eligibility. The club currently plays at Hicks Park after making the move in 2022[3]. They played at LaFortune Stadium in 2017 and previously played at Drillers Stadium, the former home of the Tulsa Drillers baseball team.[4][5][6]
FC Tulsa is an American soccer team based in Tulsa, Oklahoma and currently play in the USL Championship, which is a national league at the second tier of the American Soccer Pyramid. FC Tulsa was founded as Tulsa Roughnecks FC by Jeff and Dale Hubbard, brothers and co-owners of the Tulsa Drillers minor league baseball franchise. The Hubbards were announced as co-owners and co-chairs on December 18, 2013. Prodigal, LLC., owner of Oklahoma City Energy FC, another USL club, served as a minority owner. On February 26, 2014, it was announced that the team would be known as Tulsa Roughnecks FC, paying homage to the original Roughnecks which played in the original North American Soccer League from 1978 until the league folded in 1984 (and were best known for winning Soccer Bowl '83). On August 20, 2019, it was announced that the Craft family, composed of Tulsa natives and brothers JW, Ryan, and Kyle Craft, had acquired the club from the Drillers and Prodigal Soccer.[7] On December 4, 2019, the club announced that it would be renamed as FC Tulsa beginning with the 2020 season.[8] The team plays at ONEOK Field, a 7,833 seat stadium in the Greenwood District of Downtown Tulsa. The field opened in 2010 and was made the FC Tulsa's home in 2015.
On 23 March 2022 Tulsa Athletic advanced to the Second Round of the 2022 U.S. Open Cup by beating Azteca FC (UPSL) 3-0.[1] This set up the first ever showdaown with FC Tulsa, who qualified for the second round based on USL Championship's status as the Division II league in the American Soccer Pyramid.[9]
