Naples pro soccer team scores bank partnership

Memphis-based First Horizon Bank has signed a partnership with FC Naples, a United Soccer League expansion team billed as the first pro sports team in Collier County.

Financial terms of the multiyear partnership weren’t disclosed. 

FC Naples, founded last year, plays its games at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples and will make its debut this season with USL League One. The Paradise Coast Sports Complex is a 175-acre facility 15 minutes from downtown Naples. PCSC Stadium, according to the team’s website, has seating capacity of 5,000. 

"Being the exclusive banking partner of FC Naples, Collier County's first professional sports team, marks an exciting milestone for us. This team will transform how our community and youth experience soccer, giving them front row access to professional athletes who can inspire their dreams and showcase what's possible through dedication and hard work," First Horizon Market President David Gordley says in the statement.

FC Naples Roberto Moreno says the team "is proud to align with a banking partner that is invested in the people that make our community strong and embodies the values that soccer brings to our next generation."

First Horizon Corp. had $82.2 billion in assets as of Dec. 31, 2024.
