For the 2017 season, the City Islanders played all their home matches at
FNB Field rather than splitting time between
Harrisburg and
Clipper Magazine Stadium in
Lancaster. This decision was made to focus on marketing the team more intently in Harrisburg area. The 2017 season marked the first time the City Islanders competed in the second division of American soccer after
USL was granted provisional Division II status. The season would also kick off under new majority ownership joined by George Altirs of Capelli Sports. The new ownership has intended to invest in the club to keep up with the growing league and keep the team in Harrisburg. Despite additional investment and club connections to
Ghanaian club,
International Allies F.C., the City Islanders failed to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season. At the conclusion of the season, it was announced that the Harrisburg City Islanders would be re-branded as
Penn FC for the 2018 season marking the end of the "City Islanders" name after 14 seasons. == Roster ==
