Our Journey: From Humble Beginnings to Excellence
Founded in 2008, FC Pittsburgh has grown from a small youth soccer club into a thriving community dedicated to nurturing talent and fostering a love for the game. Over the years, we've celebrated numerous milestones, including championship wins and the development of players who have gone on to excel at higher levels.
Esmark sponsors FC Pittsburgh Soccer. The Bouchard family founded the FC Pittsburgh Soccer Club with a $250,000 grant for youth soccer development and has contributed more than $300,000 toward the program. The generosity of the Bouchard family has positively impacted countless families over the years through the sport of soccer.
