History

Med City FC was founded in 2017 by Frank Spaeth, joining NPSL's North Conference as an expansion team.[6][7]

In late 2019, City was announced as a participant in the 2020 U.S. Open Cup due to its performance in the previous season.[8] This would be the team's first appearance in the tournament. However, on March 13, 2020, U.S. Soccer elected to temporarily suspend the tournament due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
