Detroit City Football Club (DCFC) has announced that its new stadium, set to open in Southwest Detroit for the 2027 USL Championship season, will be named AlumniFi Field. The naming rights are part of an expanded partnership with digital banking brand AlumniFi.

The agreement extends AlumniFi’s role as DCFC’s exclusive financial partner and front-of-kit sponsor. The multi-year deal, brokered by Sports Revenue Advisors and M3 Group, now includes the stadium naming rights.

Construction on AlumniFi Field is expected to begin in late 2025 at the corner of Michigan Avenue and 20th Street, pending public approvals. The planned venue will seat 15,000 and will be Detroit’s only privately owned and financed professional sports stadium.

Sean Mann, CEO of Detroit City FC, said, “As longtime residents of the city, the leaders and founders of the Club view this stadium not only as an opportunity for our organization and sport, but as a civic endeavor to give back to the city we love. Through our partnership, AlumniFi has been working with us on a shared vision for a stronger, more connected Detroit, creating an environment where everyone from youth to adults can thrive.”

April Clobes, President and CEO of AlumniFi, added: “Like Detroit City Football Club, we believe in the power of community. This partnership is about more than a stadium — it’s a commitment toward a brighter, stronger Detroit. Through financial education, local initiatives, and community-driven programs, AlumniFi is here to support Detroit’s continued growth and success.”

Two renderings developed by HOK were also shared at the event. These show views from the northwest corner and an aerial perspective from the south.

Ticket deposits for DCFC’s 2027 season will open on August 26.
