## History

FC Naples is the first fully professional soccer club to be based in Naples, building upon the previous long-standing presence of semi-professional sides in the area, including current NPSL club Naples United FC, with whom they share their stadium.
The club's official name, crest, and branding were revealed on June 15, 2024.
Roberto Moreno is the club president and co-founder. Formerly a CFO of the fitness and apparel brand Zumba, Moreno first became a minority stake investor for EFL League One Leyton Orient in April 2021. In January 2022 he invested in Belgian lower side Patro Eisden, and Bundesliga 2 club Preussen Munster the following year.
Moreno considered buying the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Although a deal never happened, he formed a connection with USL deputy CEO Justin Papadakis. After Papadakis made a trip to Naples and visited the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, he was convinced of a new location for a new USL franchise.
On July 17, 2024, FC Naples announced Matt Poland as their first head coach. First round of tryouts were held on September 7, 2024.

## Stadium

Built in 2020, Paradise Coast Sports Complex Stadium serves as the club's current home, and holds up to 5,000 spectators. The field surface is synthetic turf.

## Identity

On February 19, 2024, FC Naples announced a fan outreach initiative in which it would seek input on club branding from local residents.
The club's badge is meant to be representative of Naples as a whole, and the city's defining relationship with the sea. Itself in the shape of a lightning whelk, it is adorned in gold with of shapes of a boat keel at its bottom and an art deco shell crown pattern at its top. The 'A' in the 'FC Naples' wordmark is stylized in the shape of pier pilings.
The club's signature shade of deep blue is representative of the waters along which the city of Naples is located. The club announced that Hummel International will be their kit supplier. Physicians Regional Healthcare System is their primary kit sponsor, along with paradisecoast.com as their back sponsor, PFS Wealth Management as their sleeve sponsor and Tide Cleaners as their short sponsor.
