FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UPPER 90 FC Launches UPPER90 FC Foundation to Expand Access and Opportunity Through Soccer
Seville, OH — February 5, 2026 — UPPER 90 FC is proud to announce the launch of the UPPER90 FC Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to using soccer as a vehicle for education, personal growth, and community connection. The Foundation’s mission is to provide access, opportunity, and support for youth soccer players of all backgrounds, with a strong focus on removing financial barriers and developing character through the game.
The UPPER 90 FC Foundation was created to ensure that every young athlete—regardless of financial circumstances—has the opportunity to grow, lead, and succeed both on and off the field. Through scholarships, community outreach initiatives, and facility development, the Foundation aims to create sustainable pathways for players to reach their full potential.
“Our goal is to build inclusive and thriving communities where soccer opens doors to education, leadership, and lifelong opportunities,” said Tony Csiszar, President of the UPPER90 FC Foundation. “We believe the game has the power to shape character, instill values, and positively impact lives far beyond the pitch.”
In addition to financial assistance that helps cover player fees, equipment, and essential medical or orthopedic support, the Foundation emphasizes community responsibility through its Building Character Within Our Communities initiative. This program encourages players to participate in service projects, reinforcing values of compassion, accountability, and giving back.
The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of leaders from youth sports, business, and the local community, all committed to transparency, accountability, and long‑term impact.
The UPPER90 FC Foundation actively seeks community partners and sponsors who share its vision of equity in youth athletics. Donations and sponsorships directly support programming that creates meaningful, lasting opportunities for young athletes across Northeast Ohio.
