Get ready soccer fans!

FC Monmouth, officially launched late last year and is founded by local entrepreneurs and passionate soccer fans living across Monmouth County, is preparing for its inaugural season in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), a nationwide semi-pro soccer league. The first game will be played May 9, 2018 in and against Atlantic City before the first home game is planned for Saturday, May 12th. FC Monmouth will be playing its games at Count Basie Park in Red Bank. The experience around each of the home games is one of family fun for both young and old with competitive soccer, entertainment before the game and music and other engaging experiences during halftime. FC Monmouth is also working with local businesses and nonprofits to extend the experience beyond the game and give back to the community. All of this is the mission of FC Monmouth’s founders – to connect, entertain and inspire Monmouth County.
