Real Central New Jersey

Real Central New Jersey is a soccer club from Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, founded in 2020. It competes in the Mid-Atlantic Division of USL League Two, and began playing in the 2021 season. The club marks the first soccer team to play in Mercer County since the Penn-Jersey Spirit of the now-disbanded American Professional Soccer League last played in 1991. Like the Spirit, RCNJ will also play out of The College of New Jersey's Lions Stadium. Although the club intends to play at TCNJ in the future, due to COVID-19 related issues, the club is playing its inaugural 2021 season at Mercer County Community College. It kicked off the season against in-state rivals the Ocean City Nor'easters, losing 3–0.
