Lore & Background
FC Bascome Bermuda was established in 2019. On 22 January 2020, USL League Two announced that the club would join the competition for the 2020 season, entering the Mid Atlantic Division. The club was created with the idea of providing a platform for young Bermudian footballers to eventually make it professionally. While Bermuda Hogges previously played in the USL Second Division (later USL Pro) in 2012, FC Bascome Bermuda has not yet participated in any USL match.
Reader's Guide
FC Bascome Bermuda represents a notable but unfulfilled attempt to integrate Bermudian football into the American semi-professional soccer system. Its entry into USL League Two in 2020 was seen as a pathway for young Bermudian players, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of the 2020 season. The club then opted out of the 2021 season due to continued travel restrictions, and did not take part in the 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025 seasons. As of the latest available information, the club has still not played a league match. Its significance lies in its potential to revive Bermudian participation in USL competitions, following the earlier example of Bermuda Hogges. The club is jointly owned by former Bermudian international Andrew Bascome and Henrick Schroder.
