Milwaukee Bavarians are an American soccer team, part of the larger Bavarian Soccer Club organization, which was founded in 1929. The team is a member of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, which it joined in 2005, and plays in the Midwest Conference against teams from Indianapolis, Lawrence, Madison, Rockford and St. Paul.
The Club was formed by German immigrants as Fussball Club Bayern (English translation: Bavarian Football Club) as a multi-sports association. Their first football match was played on September 29, 1929 against Sheboygan F.C., resulting in a 3-2 victory for F.C. Bayern.
The club became very strong in its area, winning many state championships. In 1956 they took their present name and bought a new field to play home matches on.
The Bavrain Soccer Club has won five national championships. In 1976 they won their first National Amateur Cup, when they beat Trenton New Jersey 3-1 in the final. They repeated this success in [[2001], 2002, & 2003. In 2003, they also won the National Open Cup amatuer championhip. They have also finished as runners-up in this tournament on several occasions, in 1983, 1994, 1999 and 2000.
The Bavarians play their home matches in the stadium at the Bavarian Soccer Club in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The team's colors are blue and white.
