Detroit City FC plans grand opening for new merchandise store in downtown Detroit
Detroit City FC, the city's professional soccer club, is opening a new merchandise shop downtown for fans to purchase team gear, tickets to games and more.
"It's all our merchandise, so t-shirts and hoodies and scarves and accessories, keychains, that kind of stuff," said Kevin Brehmer, Detroit City FC director of operations and merchandise.

The store will also offer custom orders made by Underground Printing, a screen printing company who partners with Detroit City FC and will share the space.
Founded in 2012, Detroit City FC has risen up the soccer ranks since, winning a NISA Championship in 2021, joining the USL Championship this year and starting a women's team this season.
The men's team is 9-7-4 in 2022. In April, it earned its first win over a Major League Soccer team, a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew in the U.S. Open Cup. It next plays New Mexico United at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Keyworth Stadium. The game will stream on ESPN+.
The women's DCFC team finished its inaugural season earlier this month with a 3-6-3 record.
The grand opening for the shop, at 1216 Griswold St., is Thursday.
