<p>Die&nbsp;<b>Georgia Force</b>&nbsp;waren ein&nbsp;<a href="Arena_Football" title="Arena Football">Arena-Football</a>-Team aus <a href="Duluth_(Georgia)" title="Duluth (Georgia)">Duluth</a> (<a href="Georgia" title="Georgia">Georgia</a>),&nbsp;das in der&nbsp;<a href="Arena_Football_League" title="Arena Football League">Arena Football League</a>&nbsp;(AFL) spielte.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geschichte">Geschichte</h2></div>
<p>Im Jahr 2002 kaufte der amerikanische Geschäftsmann Virgil Williams die <a href="Nashville_Kats" title="Nashville Kats">Nashville Kats</a> für zehn Millionen Dollar und zog das Team von <a href="Nashville" title="Nashville">Nashville</a> (<a href="Tennessee" title="Tennessee">Tennessee</a>) nach <a href="Duluth_(Georgia)" title="Duluth (Georgia)">Duluth</a> (Georgia), einem Vorort von Atlanta, um.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Bis zum Jahr 2008 konnten die Force fünf Mal in die Playoffs einziehen. Die Saison 2005 sollte die erfolgreichste der Franchisegeschichte werden. Die Force schlossen die regular Season mit 11 Siegen und 5 Niederlagen ab und zog in die Playoffs ein. Dazu gewannen sie alle ihre Heimspiele (6:0). Sie scheiterten erst im <a href="ArenaBowl" title="ArenaBowl">ArenaBowl</a> an den <a href="Colorado_Crush" title="Colorado Crush">Colorado Crush</a> knapp mit 48:51.
</p><p>Als die AFL die Saison 2009 ausfallen ließ, lösten sich auch die Georgia Force auf.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Im Jahr 2010 verkauften die Eigentümer das AFL-Team der Alabama Vipers. Die neuen Käufer verlegten das Franchise nach <a href="Duluth_(Georgia)" title="Duluth (Georgia)">Duluth</a>, sicherten sich die Rechte an Namen und Logo und schufen die neuen Georgia Force.
</p><p>Diese sollten allerdings nur zwei Jahre bestehen, in denen zwar beide Male die Playoffs erreicht wurde, aber nicht mehr in das Finale einziehen sollte. Zudem fielen die Zuschauerzahlen im Vergleich zu den ersten sieben Spielzeiten um mehr als die Hälfte.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>2012 verkündeten die Besitzer der Force die Auflösung des Franchise. Miteigentümer Doug MacGregor kritisierte bei der offiziellen Bekanntgabe eine fehlende lokale Identifikation mit der Mannschaft und fehlendes Knowhow in der Führung einer Sportmannschaft.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
