Non-notable association football club. No references whatsoever. Google failed to find this group, instead bringing up unrelated Atlanta-based groups.

Delete - Speaking as a sports fan and resident of Atlanta, Georgia, this is a non-notable soccer (association football) club. The article is unclear, in fact, to what "FC Atlanta" the article even refers. There are several youth soccer leagues here that apparently use the "FC Atlanta" name as a DBA. What is perfectly clear is that no fully professional soccer team ever operated here as "FC Atlanta." The current professional soccer club in Atlanta is the
Atlanta Silverbacks, a fully professional club in the second-tier NASL. Bottom line: subject fails the specific notability guideline applicable to sports teams and other organizations per
WP:ORG, and the general notability guidelines per
WP:GNG, for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.
