LEESBURG, Va. – Loudoun United FC and Virginia Revolution Soccer Club announce their official merger, forging a premier soccer institution that redefines the regional soccer landscape. The partnership will be known as Revolution United and will be managed by Virginia Revolution’s principal owner, Jim Miller. The goal is to establish a professional pathway from grassroots development to the highest level of professional soccer in the United States.

“This partnership represents an exciting new era for soccer in our region,” said Greg Baroni, CEO and Managing Partner, Attain Sports. “By integrating facilities, player development programs, and community opportunities, we are not just building teams—we are building a club where athletes of all levels can reach their highest potential.”

This merger transforms Loudoun United from a team to a fully integrated club, with Virginia Revolution's expansive facilities and innovative programs serving as the foundation for its future.

With this partnership, Loudoun United and Virginia Revolution are set to redefine the soccer landscape in Northern Virginia, fostering a culture of excellence, unity, and growth from youth development to professional competition. Young athletes in Leesburg, Loudoun County, and across Northern Virginia now have a unique opportunity to reach the professional structure of the USL Championship.
