Continuing a Powerful Partnership: Bank of Washington Returns as FCSC Premier Diamond Sponsor

August 12, 2026

Honoring Community Legacy While Elevating Franklin County Soccer for the 26/27 Season

Franklin County Sports Club (FCSC) is thrilled to announce that Bank of Washington is continuing its journey alongside us as our Premier Diamond Sponsor for the 26/27 competitive soccer cycle.
As our very first sponsor heading into the 2025/2026 season, Bank of Washington placed early trust in our mission, our players, and our vision for youth sports. Their renewed commitment for 26/27 ensures that our competitive teams will proudly carry the iconic BOW brand across their jerseys as we train locally to compete throughout the Greater St. Louis Metro Area proudly representing our county.
This partnership reaches far beyond the front of a uniform—it is rooted in shared values, community dedication, and deep local roots.

Honoring a Legacy of Service

As we celebrate this milestone, our club takes a moment to remember and honor the late L.B. Eckelkamp , former CEO and Chairman of Bank of Washington. His vision, leadership, and unwavering devotion to community banking laid the groundwork for partnerships like this one. L.B.’s legacy was defined by investing back into the local families and organizations that make our region strong, and FCSC is proud to uphold that spirit of community stewardship through our work on and off the pitch.
"Having Bank of Washington step up as our inaugural sponsor last season meant the world to our club, and continuing this partnership into 26/27 is a true honor," said Alex Moraes , the FCSC Club President and Executive Director. "Their support directly enhances our ability to deliver a top-tier competitive experience for local youth. Wearing the BOW brand on our uniforms is a point of pride for our players—it connects our athletes to a legacy of community commitment and local leadership that L.B. Eckelkamp championed for decades."

Proudly Representing Franklin County

With matches, tournaments, and showcase events taking our teams throughout the Greater St. Louis Metro Area, FCSC players are excited to continue building brand awareness for Bank of Washington while pursuing excellence on the field.
