Nashville SC to build training complex in South Nashville

Nashville SC announced Thursday the location of their new facility. Century Farms in Antioch will house the club’s multi-million dollar complex, complete with three full-sized training fields and a state-of-the-art sports facility to house the club’s first team and staff.

“The club’s practice facility sits alongside our new stadium and new youth academy as key assets of any professional soccer team,” said Nashville SC CEO Ian Ayre. “Creating a first-class facility where our players and staff can practice and work is a crucial part of the overall organization and a foundational element for the soccer footprint we have been building for the city. We took time to identify a site that worked with all of our short and long-term objectives for the club, as well as the Nashville community. We are confident that the Century Farms location and the broader South Nashville/Antioch community are an excellent fit for our plans.”

“Nashville Soccer Club is truly embracing our city as its hometown and I applaud their choice of Southeast Nashville for their permanent practice facility,” said Mayor John Cooper. “Nashville SC is investing in one of the fastest growing areas in Davidson County and in doing so will make a direct and positive impact on the neighborhood here.”

“I am thrilled to have Nashville SC join our Antioch family!” said Councilwoman Joy Styles. “It is hugely impactful that they see our diverse community as a perfect fit for the future and have chosen Century Farms for their practice facility location. This will benefit not only our growing business landscape, but also all of our passionate soccer fans. I am looking forward to their arrival and continuing to build our relationship with the community.”

Located off of Interstate 24 in the Hickory Hollow area, Century Farms is a 300+ acre mixed use development. The development will include retail, office and entertainment spaces.

Nashville SC currently trains at Currey Ingram Academy and will continue to do so while the new complex is under construction.
