Spokane Zephyr FC is a future professional women's soccer team based in Spokane, Washington, United States. It will be a member of the USL Super League, a new Division I league operated by the United Soccer League, and is scheduled to debut in 2024. The team will play at One Spokane Stadium, a Downtown Spokane venue with 5,000 seats. Zephyr FC is owned by Aequus Sports, which also operates Spokane Velocity FC of USL League One, another stadium tenant.[1]
