History

edit

On 22 January 2020, it was announced by USL League Two, the American semi-professional soccer league, that Bascome Bermuda would be joining the competition for the 2020 season.[2] The club was entered into USL League Two with the idea of providing a platform for young Bermudian footballers to eventually make it professionally.[2] The club was entered into the league's Mid Atlantic Division for 2020.[2] In joining the league, Bascome Bermuda became the first club to participate in the United Soccer League's from Bermuda since Bermuda Hogges played in the league in 2012.[2] However, their debut has been delayed, as the 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic[3] and then the club opted out of the 2021 season, due to continued travel restrictions from the pandemic.[4] The club did not take part to the 2022 and 2023 seasons neither.
