We’re excited to share some great news with our soccer community—our program is now officially partnered with FC Challenger, a semi-professional soccer team competing in the NPSL (National Premier Soccer League)!
This new Community Partnership is all about bringing our players, families, and supporters closer to a higher level of the game while creating meaningful experiences both on and off the field. Through this collaboration, we’ll be part of a growing soccer network across Northeast Ohio focused on development, connection, and fun.
What this means for our families:
• Exclusive Season Ticket Opportunities
Special access and pricing to attend FC Challenger matches throughout the season.
• Youth Night Fundraiser
We are excited to announce that our Youth Night will be Saturday, July 18th! FC Challengers will be hosting Erie FC in what should be a great semi-pro match up.
• Player Meet & Greets
Opportunities for our athletes to connect with FC Challenger players and experience the next level of the game up close.
• A Summer Full of Local Soccer
With a full slate of home and away matches, there are plenty of chances to support high-level, semi-pro soccer in our area.
