FC Naples welcomes Elite Jets as official partner during inaugural season

As the excitement builds for the 2026 FIFA World Cup coming to the United States, soccer in America is on the verge of unprecedented growth, and FC Naples is already making waves as the top-ranked team in USL League One. In its inaugural season, FC Naples is off to a remarkable start with a 4-win, 0-loss and 2-tie record, capturing the hearts of local fans and building momentum for a bright future.

To fuel this journey, FC Naples is proud to announce Naples, Florida-based Part 135 Elite Jets as an official partner.

As Collier County's first professional soccer team, FC Naples plays out of the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples. The club is dedicated to creating an unforgettable family experience while forging a title-contending team that Naples can call its own. The owners and leadership team are committed to representing the community's rich history of strength and resilience.

Elite Jets, southwest Florida's leading private jet charter and aircraft management company, joins the FC Naples family as an official partner, sharing the team's passion for excellence and community engagement. Known for providing the most modern and luxurious private aircraft with first-class service and amenities, Elite Jets is committed to supporting local initiatives that foster community pride and help grow the vibrant soccer culture in Naples.

“We are thrilled to partner with Elite Jets during our inaugural season,” said Roberto Moreno, CEO of FC Naples. “Its dedication to quality and service aligns perfectly with our mission to build a soccer culture that Naples can be proud of. With our strong start this season and the World Cup coming to the U.S. in 2026, the future of soccer in southwest Florida has never looked brighter.”

For Stephen Myers, executive vice president of Elite Jets, the partnership also carries a personal connection to the sport and to Naples: “Partnering with FC Naples during its inaugural season is an honou,” said Myers. “The team's passion and dedication to the game reflect the spirit of our community. Not sure anybody cares, but I played in a men's soccer league in Naples starting in sixth grade, then varsity at Naples High School and later intramurals at the University of Florida. It's just really meaningful to see professional soccer come to my hometown in which I was born, raised and worked in for almost 60 years.”
