Franklin County SC and Saint Charles FC Announce Strategic Club Partnership to Advance Player Development

Franklin County Sports Club (FCSC) and Saint Charles Football Club (STCFC) are proud to officially announce a new club partnership aimed at strengthening player development and providing more competitive opportunities for youth athletes across both organizations.

This strategic partnership will allow players from FCSC and SCFC to benefit from additional games throughout the year and increase access to sanctioned tournaments. By working together, both clubs are committed to fostering an environment where young athletes can grow, compete, and reach their full potential.


“Our mission at Franklin County SC has always been about creating the best possible environment for player development—not just through training, but by exposing our players to meaningful, high-quality competition,” said Alex Moraes, President and Executive Director of FCSC. “This partnership with STCFC is a big step forward in making that vision a reality, and we're excited about what’s ahead.”


“We’re thrilled to officially partner with Franklin County Sports Club and to start collaborating with Alex and his team," said Sean Hart, Executive Director of Saint Charles FC. "It’s inspiring to work with a club that aligns with our values and shares a clear vision for the future of the game. We’re confident this partnership will be rooted in real, meaningful work that benefits not just our players and coaches, but our communities as well. We’re excited for the opportunities and growth this collaboration will create.”


In addition to shared competition opportunities, both clubs have also agreed to collaborate on coaching development initiatives. In the near future, the partnership will expand to include coaching education sessions, clinics, and workshops to further elevate the standards and expertise across both programs.


Stay tuned for more updates as this partnership continues to evolve—and as both FCSC and STCFC work together to build a stronger soccer community for players, coaches, and families alike.
