They played their first competitive game on May 14, 2011, in a 2-0 loss to Chicago Fire Premier.[2] The first goal in franchise history was scored by Michael O'Neill in their next game, a 2-2 tie with the Cincinnati Kings.[3] On Sunday, July 24, 2011, the Akron played their final game, a 1-4 loss against the Chicago Fire U-23 finishing the season with a 5-8-3 record.
