Overview

Oakland Roots announced on June 27, 2019 that the team would apply to join NISA after previously announcing it would take part in the NPSL Members Cup. a tournament put on by the National Premier Soccer League as a precursor to a proposed professional league in 2020.[1][2] In August, the team was announced into the league along with Detroit City FC and Chattanooga FC.[3] Unlike the other two teams, the Roots were announced as part of the Fall season and took part as members of the West Coast Conference.

On December 11, NISA announced the Oakland, Detroit, Chattanooga, and Michigan Stars FC had all been approved by the U.S. Soccer Board of Directors.[4][5]

Paul Bravo was announced as the Roots' first head coach on May 9, 2019.[6] On October 31, following the fall season, the club announced they and Bravo had mutually parted ways.[7] Assistant coach Jordan Ferrell was named as interim head coach and later, on December 3, officially named as the new head coach.[8][9] The team won its first NISA match on March 7, 2020, 2–1, at home against Michigan Stars FC.[10]

The team played two friendly matches against Mexican professional teams early in the season, falling to Liga MX side FC Juárez in early September and beating second division side Club Atlético Zacatepec with both games selling out.[11][12]

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.[13][14]
