FC Riverside County Issues Statement on Brand Integrity and Future League Participation

CORONA, CA – September 10, 2025 – FC Riverside County today issued a formal statement addressing a violation of its brand integrity by the Southwest Super League and outlining the club’s future participation with the league. The club confirmed it will be re-evaluating its long-term relationship with the league following the administration’s unauthorized alteration of the FCRC brand name in public-facing schedules.

The club, which was officially registered as “FC Riverside County,” was listed on league schedules as “Southwest Super League FC Riverside County.” FCRC views this unauthorized rebranding as a fundamental violation of professional respect and a clear conflict with the club’s identity as a fully independent, community-based organization.

“Our name is our bond with our families. It represents our unique culture, our unprecedented investment in player and coach development, and our unwavering commitment to our community,” said Adrian Aros, founder of FC Riverside County. “We are building a destination club, not a feeder system. To have our brand identity co-opted without our consent is a non-negotiable breach of professional integrity. We will not allow our name, which our families and coaches trust, to be used as a marketing tool to legitimize other ventures.”

Despite this serious breach, FC Riverside County has made the decision to allow its current teams to complete the season.

“Our commitment to our players will always come first,” Aros continued. “For many of our players, this is their first time playing club soccer, and we will not allow a third party’s lack of professionalism to create a negative outcome or a letdown for our children. They have worked too hard for this opportunity. However, we will be pausing the entry of any new teams into this league and will focus on securing partnerships with established, professionally-run organizations like CalSouth for our future competitive endeavors.”

FC Riverside County was founded on a model of significant long-term capital investment, professionalizing coaching standards with top-tier pay, and providing a clear college pathway for its players. The club maintains that its mission requires it to protect its brand from any unauthorized affiliations that could mislead families or create confusion in the marketplace.

About FC Riverside County: FC Riverside County is a community-based organization focused on providing fun, recreational soccer experiences for players of all ages (2-16). Its primary goal is to provide fun, safe, and engaging recreational programs for players of all ages (2-16), from its “Little Bellers” to its weekend leagues. For dedicated players, the club also provides a clear and supported college pathway through its competitive club teams, led by high-level coaches. The club’s professional Media Division enhances these community-based activities by partnering with brands like Sky Zone to create exciting events and provide value for its members, with proceeds often supporting its Player Scholarship Fund.

FC Riverside County Youth Soccer College Pathway: A Comprehensive Journey to Success

At FC Riverside County, our mission is to nurture the next generation of soccer talent while prioritizing their educational growth. Our structured College Pathway is designed to guide young athletes through four distinct stages, ensuring they develop not just as players but as well-rounded individuals ready for the demands of life beyond the field. Let’s take a closer look at each stage of our pathway and explore how our focus on college soccer sets us apart.

1. Developmental Programs

The journey begins with our Developmental Programs for younger players, including Little Bellers and Club Recreational teams. These early stages emphasize the fundamentals of soccer while instilling a love for the game. Our trained coaches utilize fun and engaging methods to help players build essential skills such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and communication. By encouraging a positive learning environment, we lay the groundwork for future success on and off the field.

2. Development Leagues

Once players have acquired foundational skills, they transition into Development Leagues, designed for those participating in our Club League. Players refine their abilities at this stage through more structured training and competitive matches. Coaches focus on enhancing tactical understanding and individual skills while also emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance between academics and athletics.

3. Competitive Soccer

For players ready to elevate their game, our Competitive Soccer stage offers a rigorous training environment that challenges young athletes to push their limits. This stage is for those who demonstrate skill and ambition, seeking to compete at higher levels. While developing advanced techniques and strategies, we continue to stress the importance of education and personal development. Players learn that dedication to their sport should be matched by commitment to their studies, preparing them for the realities of pursuing higher education.

4. College Soccer

The ultimate goal of our pathway is to guide players toward college soccer, where their hard work can lead to scholarships and opportunities at reputable institutions. College soccer is not just about competition; it’s a viable avenue for young athletes to continue their education while pursuing their passion.

Focusing on college soccer is crucial for several reasons:

  • Realistic Goals: College soccer is attainable for many skilled players, offering them a chance to play competitively while earning a degree. Unlike the often fleeting nature of a professional soccer career, college provides a solid foundation for future success.
  • Life Beyond Soccer: Injuries and other challenges can abruptly end a professional soccer career. However, those who prioritize education alongside athletics are better equipped to navigate life’s uncertainties. A college education opens doors to various career paths, ensuring athletes have options beyond their playing days.
  • Holistic Development: The balance of academics and athletics fosters life skills such as discipline, time management, and resilience. These skills are invaluable in any career, granting athletes the tools to succeed in adulthood, regardless of whether they pursue soccer professionally.

A Commitment to Excellence

What truly sets the FC Riverside County Youth Soccer College Pathway apart is our unwavering commitment to guiding youth athletes not only in their soccer journey but also in their academic endeavors. FC Riverside County implements strict hiring standards to ensure the highest quality of coaching. All our coaches must have played for a college or university, bringing invaluable experience and proven methods to our training sessions.

This commitment to hiring qualified, knowledgeable coaches guarantees that our students receive the most effective and reliable guidance throughout their development. Our coaches become mentors who not only teach the game but also inspire our young athletes to strive for excellence both on and off the field.

Why Choose FC Riverside County?

Through personalized coaching, access to resources, and a supportive community, we empower players to achieve their dreams—both on the pitch and in the classroom. Join us at FC Riverside County, where we build great soccer players and individuals prepared for life’s next challenges.

Embark on your journey with us and discover the endless possibilities that await you at FC Riverside County!

Feedback on Partnership Proposal with the City of Corona

Dear Community,

We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to reach out regarding our recent attempts to engage with the City of Corona about renting available fields. FC Riverside County was enthusiastic about the prospect of partnering and even offered higher-than-normal rental rates, along with a commitment to fund park upgrades.

Regrettably, we felt sidelined in this process, as we were unable to engage in a meaningful discussion about our proposal. This lack of dialogue has made it challenging for us to explore potential collaborations that could benefit the community, especially given the needs of new residents.

From the Owner to Local Leaders: The City of Corona is like an orange tree. An orange tree will produce lots of oranges through all its various branches. Every branch presents an opportunity to create a new orange. We have notable residents who are continuously innovating. The City of Corona has produced many oranges. They are ready to be enjoyed by the people.

I urge our legacy leaders, who helped build this great city, to please open yourself to the new oranges that the City of Corona has produced. FC Riverside County is a new orange. We have a lot to offer. We want to create a partnership in the future.

We sincerely hope that in the future, there may be an opportunity for more open communication, as we remain committed to working together for the betterment of our community.

We wanted to take a moment to reassure you that while we are navigating some challenges with our partnership proposal, we are currently exploring an expansion to a new location. We are not moving; rather, we are expanding! We are exploring a new location, with an announcement expected by the end of the week.

In the meantime, Crossroads will continue hosting our weekend games and our highly praised youth soccer program, ensuring our community can still enjoy these valuable activities.

Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to the possibility of future engagement.

Best regards,

FC Riverside County
