Atlanta SC

Atlanta FC

The original Atlanta FC was born out of a U23 team, Lawrenceville FC, that came together to make a successful run to the National Cup finals in 2007. The NPSL began seeking interested ownership groups for its new Southeast Conference at around the same time, and Atlanta FC joined for the division's inaugural season. That team went on to win the NPSL Southeast Conference in its first season, losing out in the playoffs to Midwest Champions St. Paul Twin Stars.

Ramiro Canovas was one of the league's leading scorers in 2008, with five goals in NPSL play and nine overall (including US Open Cup qualifying). Luis Sandoval and Robert Munilla were also named to the 2008 NPSL All-Star team.

In 2009, the club reached the 1st round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup by finishing as the runner-up at USASA Region III Open Cup qualifying. The team lost 2–0 to the Charleston Battery.

Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves

On February 3, 2011, the ownership groups of Atlanta FC and the Atlanta Silverbacks NASL team announced that they would partner and the team would be rebranded as the Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves. During the first season playing as the Reserves, goalkeeper Eric Ati was signed to the first team after the Reserves season in the NPSL concluded. Kingsley Morgan was named to the NPSL All-Star team. The team finished fourth in a highly competitive NPSL South Region.

On 22 February 2013, they announced that they would be taking a hiatus for the 2013 NPSL season. The team returned to the field for the 2014 season and finished the regular season in second place in the Southeast Conference of the NPSL South Region.

Atlanta Silverbacks FC

When the Silverbacks were disbanded at the end of the 2015 season due to the lack of suitable local ownership, the reserve team licensed the name. They played three seasons as Atlanta Silverbacks FC before losing the license and rebranding to Atlanta SC.

Atlanta SC

In 2019, Atlanta SC joined the National Independent Soccer Association, a Division III professional league. They began play in 2020 fall season, not advancing to the playoffs, and withdrew before the start of the 2020 spring season. They originally planned to return to play in the fall of 2021, the following season, but were defunct by January 2020.
