History

[edit]

The club was founded in 2023, and embarked on its inaugural season in spring of that year.[3] The club's first home match was a 1–1 draw against New England Mutiny at Memorial Stadium on May 22, 2023.[4] The team finished in fifth place in the East Division in its inaugural season, with a 4–1–3 record, qualifying for the UWS playoffs. The Tide would be defeated in the first round of the playoffs by Sporting CT.

The club finished 11th in the East Division in 2024, with a 3–5–0 record.[5]

The club has seen a surge in support following the success of the Portland Hearts of Pine, a men's professional soccer club also based in Portland, which started play in 2025.[2]
