On October 9, 2019, it was announced by Inter Miami of Major League Soccer, that they would be fielding a reserve side in USL League One in 2020.[1][2] A few months later, on February 1, 2020, the club announced the team's name as Fort Lauderdale CF and that they would be playing at the main team's temporary Inter Miami CF Stadium.[3]
