History
The club played in Lockhart Stadium, which was a former high school stadium converted into a soccer-specific stadium. Major League Soccer's contraction following the 2001 season reduced the league from 12 to 10 teams, with the Fusion and their fellow Florida club, the Tampa Bay Mutiny, ceasing operations.
In 2006 the fans of the team started following the "Miami FC", that now -since 2010- is called Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
