Leggi tutta la storia
The Rapid were the last to be planned of the original six clubs in the NSL. With the league struggling to reach six franchises signing-on by the spring 2024 deadline which had been set by the other franchise owners, league CEO Diana Matheson and co-founder Thomas Gilbert leveraged their equity in the league in order to create a club in Ottawa. The club's existence was first disseminated at the espnW Summit in May 2024, where it and Montréal were described as the last two of the league's six charter clubs. Details were initially scant, with Matheson implying its development was behind the other five clubs. The club's formal unveiling took place at a press conference at TD Place Stadium on August 15, where their corporate leadership, branding, and venue were detailed for the first time.
On September 17, 2025, following a 2–1 win over Calgary Wild FC, the Rapid secured a spot in the inaugural NSL playoffs. Ottawa was eliminated in the semifinal by Vancouver Rise FC.
On March 6, 2026, it was announced that Arcadia MapleLeaf Soccer had become majority owners of the Rapid, increasing investment into the club, and with Nick Sakellariadis being named as Chair.
