Local semi-pro Curran FC pitches community growth and events at NSB Sports Complex
Summary
Curran FC representatives told the commission the club is growing, cited a statewide championship and said the team is building player pathways; they requested the city support community events and promotion tied to local economic benefits.
Representatives of Curran FC, the New Smyrna Beach semi-professional soccer club, addressed the commission to introduce the organization and highlight recent successes and community programs. Nate Monsanto said the club focuses on player development and community engagement and noted the men's side won the 2025 UPSL Florida State championship.
"For us, this is more than just soccer. It's about creating opportunity, inspiring the next generation, and building something that brings pride to our city," Monsanto said. The club said it is not asking for direct funding but requested city support for community celebration events and promotional efforts tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup's boost to soccer interest. Commissioners thanked the group and encouraged staff to coordinate with the sports complex and tourism partners on potential events and promotion.
