Inter Nashville FC's roots begin in 2010, when club owner, Pedro Reyes purchased a parcel of land in Antioch, Tennessee to construct his first soccer facility. During that time, Reyes created a youth and local soccer setup known as Inter Nashville, alluding to the international culture of the city. By 2011, INFC created its first youth and adult league programs and assembled its first travel soccer program in 2014. On November 18, 2016, it was announced in conjuncture with Richard Askey and Jomo Cromwell, INFC bought a franchise for the National Premier Soccer League and begin to field a senior men's team in 2017.[1][2]
