California Storm is an American women's soccer team, founded in 1995 as the Sacramento Storm, before changing its name the following season.[citation needed] The team is a member of the Women's Premier Soccer League and the USL W League, both semi-professional women's leagues in the United States. The team plays in the North Division of the Pacific Conference in the WPSL and in the NorCal Division for the USL W League. The team was a founding member of the W-League, then left in 1998 to become one of the founding teams of the WPSL. It returned in 2022 and will field a team in both leagues.[1]
The team plays its home games in the stadium of Davis Legacy Sports Complex in Davis, California but considers Sacramento, California its home and regularly holds free soccer clinics throughout the region. The club's colors are white and navy blue.
The California Storm have won the PacNorth Conference eight times, including 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2023. They have won a WPSL record of 4 National Championships (1999, 2002, 2004 and 2022). Their 2020 WPSL season was cancelled due to the pandemic but in that time, they added new sponsors, signed with Puma, and started a U-21 team, which eventually became their WPSL team. The semi-professional team will look to become the only team to hold championships in both the USL W League and WPSL within the upcoming years.
