Lane United FC

Lane United FC was an American soccer club based in Eugene, Oregon, named for Lane County, where Eugene is located. Founded in 2013, the men's team last played in USL League Two, the fourth tier of the American soccer pyramid. The club organized an amateur women's team, which competed in the USL W League starting in 2023, and announced a professional women's team to compete in the first-tier USL Super League in 2024. In 2025 they announced that the club was disbanding to make way for Sporting Cascades FC in USL League One.

Lane United was admitted into the USL Premier Development League on July 18, 2013. To raise local interest in the club, a team was quickly assembled for two friendlies during the late summer of 2013. The first match, held at South Eugene High School on July 18 saw the Reds lose to the Portland Timbers U23s, 0–3. The club then went on to earn its first victory against Southern Oregon Fuego 4–0 at Sheldon High School on August 23, with midfielder Loren Hill notching the club's first-ever goal.

In early 2014, the club entered into an agreement to use the Willamalane Center in Springfield, Oregon as a home field through 2016. Construction on a new playing surface and grandstand began soon after the announcement. Lane United also announced a three-year kit sponsorship with Oakshire Brewing, a local brewery based in the Whiteaker neighborhood of Eugene. The club slowly added commitments from college players and eventually finished out the 2014 roster with signings from open tryouts in April.

The season opened on May 16 against Seattle Sounders FC U-23, with Lane United earning its first league win on a goal from Connor Bevans. The Reds earned subsequent good home results against the Washington Crossfire and the Puget Sound Gunners before falling into a skid, losing all six games in the month of June. The club seemingly regained momentum with a late draw against Timbers U23s on July 1, but suffered narrow defeats against Vancouver Whitecaps U-23s, Victoria Highlanders, and Timbers in the final three games of the league season. Lane United finished off the season with a home exhibition match against Vancouver Victory of the Evergreen Premier League, which the Reds won comfortably, 2–0.

Lane United finished with eight points on the season, good for last place in the Northwest Division of the PDL.

In December, Lane United was awarded PDL Rookie Franchise of the Year at the United Soccer Leagues Annual General Meeting.

Lane United began their 2015 season with a non-league home game against South Sound FC that ended in a 3–1 victory for LUFC. The Reds' early victory was followed by two losses against Portland Timbers U23s and Kitsap Pumas, a 3–3 tie versus Puget Sound Gunners FC and two losses to the Seattle Sounders FC U-23 and the Washington Crossfire. Midway through the season, Lane United reversed their early losing streak and went 3–1–1 with a tie against Calgary Foothills FC, wins over Vancouver Victory, Puget Sound Gunners FC, and Liga Unida XI, and a loss to Seattle Sounders FC U-23.

After a second loss to the Kitsap Pumas, LUFC went on a three-game winning streak versus the Portland Timbers U23s, the Washington Crossfire, and Bellingham United FC before ending the season with a loss to Calgary Foothills FC. The Reds ended the season 3–7–2 earning 5th place in the USL PDL Western Conference Northwest Division. Lane United FC forward Timmy Mueller was named to the USL PDL's All-League team for his outstanding season that included nine goals in eleven games.
