Wichita Force

The Wichita Force are a professional indoor football team based in Wichita, Kansas. They are members of the Champions Indoor Football league. The team was founded in 2014 as an expansion franchise. The Force's home games are played at Intrust Bank Arena.

History
For the inaugural 2015 season, the Force hired former Wichita Wild head coach Paco Martinez. The Force opened the season with a home loss to the Salina Bombers, then regrouped to win four consecutive games in a five-week span. After that stretch, results have been mixed with road losses to the two teams that would end up playing in the Champions Bowl—Texas Revolution and Sioux City Bandits—then, a home win over the Salina Bombers, and a road win over the Dodge City Law.

In 2017, the Force underwent an ownership change and head coach Martinez was fired after three seasons with the team. He was replaced by Morris Lolar as the head coach and Stuart Schake was named general manager for the 2018 season. Brian Turner was named general manager for the 2019 season, but head coach Lolar left for a position with Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League and Rick Lee and Jerry Taylor were named co-coaches in March 2019.
