The 2019–20 Stumptown Athletic season was the club's inaugural season in the National Independent Soccer Association, a newly established third division soccer league in the United States.
Overview
On October 23, 2018, NISA announced Charlotte, North Carolina as the association's third team market.[1] On June 28, 2019, Stumptown Athletic was unveiled as one of ten founding members of the new association and one of the eight that would take part in the inaugural 2019–20 season.[2] The team used both CSA OrthoCarolina Sportsplex in Pineville and the Sportsplex at Matthews as home venues, with the hope of making the latter its permanent home venue sometime in the future.
On July 21, the team announced Mark Steffens as its first head coach.[3][4] Stumptown announced its first two player signings, Jamaica national team midfielder Michael Binns and midfielder Jared Odenbeck, in late August.[5][6] Prior to the season Hummel International was announced as Stumptown's official apparel and ball supplier.[7]
Donald Benamna became the first Stumptown player to receive and international call-up when he was rostered for the Central African Republic's October 2019 friendly against Niger.[8] The team won, 2–0, with Benamna making his debut in the process.
On April 27, 2020, following a stoppage of play and subsequent extension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NISA announced the cancellation of the 2020 Spring season.[9][10]
