New Partner Club

March 30, 2013 - FC United of Palm Coast, Florida today became a West Ham United Academy Partner Club. FC United has come a long way in its short history. Formed in 2009 by merging two small local clubs in north central Florida, it did not take long to go from 'unknown' to 'well-known'. Attracting coaches that share the same mission and vision was not easy, but a slow and steady process.    Reg Monsanto, FC United President said, The partnership with West Ham United and GIS is a direct result of the hard work we have put in to get us this far.  Click here to see a list of all of WHUIA’s Partner Clubs.
