Naples, Florida-based Part 135 Elite Jets has become an official partner of FC Naples.

As excitement builds for the 2026 FIFA World Cup coming to the US, football 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, the club is off to a remarkable start with a 4-win, 0-loss and 2-draw record, capturing the hearts of local fans and building momentum for a bright future.

For Stephen Myers, executive vice president of Elite Jets, the partnership carries a personal connection to the sport and to Naples: “Partnering with FC Naples during its inaugural season is an honour,” he says. “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.”

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 a 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 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,” states 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 US in 2026, the future of soccer in southwest Florida has never looked brighter.”
