The Waza FC (also known as Detroit Waza) is an American professional arena soccer team based in Metro Detroit competing as a charter member of the Major League Indoor Soccer (MLIS). The team's nickname, "Waza", is both a Japanese word that means "good technique" (技) and a Swahili word meaning "to think clearly".[1][2]

History

The team was founded in

Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center in Flint, Michigan. As part of the process, the team dropped the "Detroit" from its name and logo, becoming simply Waza Flo; should they receive a welcome reception in Flint, team ownership noted it would consider adding "Flint" to the team's name.[3] The team previously competed in the Major Arena Soccer League 2
(M2).

On October 4, the team was rebranded "Detroit Waza" and joined Major League Indoor Soccer for the 2022 season.[4]
