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.[1] The Force's home games are played at Intrust Bank Arena. Former Wichita Wild head coach Paco Martinez and his staff were hired by the Force.[2]

History

The Force opened the season with a home loss to the Salina Bombers[3] then regrouped to win four consecutive games in a five-week span.[4][5] 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.[6][7]
