WHAT SETS FC UNITED APART?
FC United is the first club, and currently the only club in eastern Iowa, to be admitted into the ECNL for both Girls and Boys.
The ECNL represents the nation's top youth soccer development platform that will continue to propel us to challenge our players and our teams as we provide a platform centered on player development and our relentless pursuit of excellence.
Our inclusion into the ECNL is a testament to our program, our players, and the value our organization places on providing incredible growth opportunities.
