Birmingham Legion FC has completed construction of its new 9,000-square-foot training facility on Dunnavant Valley Road.
UAB Medicine Physical Therapy will occupy the space, providing a fully staffed clinic in the building for physical therapy services to Alabama residents and Legion FC players.
“Legion FC is proud to unveil our new state-of-the-art training facility designed to elevate our athletes’ performance with the latest in sports technology and innovation,” said Legion FC President and General Manager Jay Heaps. “In partnership with Shelby County, this demonstrates the commitment to growth of soccer in the state, and with the addition of UAB Medicine Physical Therapy clinic in the building, the facility is one of a kind in Alabama.”
The facility overlooks five soccer fields at Dunnavant Valley Fields, which Legion FC has trained at for the past three seasons. Legion FC is currently looking for a partner to share in the naming rights for the complex.
Birmingham Legion FC is the Magic City’s first and only locally owned and operated professional soccer franchise. It plays its home games at Protective Stadium in downtown Birmingham.
