Florida Premier FC (FPFC) has significantly contributed to the economic prosperity of Pasco County through its statewide games. The staff, consisting of over 230 individuals earning part to full-time wages, primarily hails from Pasco County. Previously, top-tier players seeking competitive soccer experiences had to venture outside the county, but now, Pasco County retains these players within the local community.

 

Hosting statewide league teams has further bolstered our county's economic standing, bringing in the largest economic impact compared to neighboring counties. The cumulative economic influence of hosting games over 34 weekends reaches an impressive $12,666,700.00 annually. Each weekend game generates an estimated $335,000.00 in direct and indirect economic gain, with approximately 1900 out-of-town attendees, 230+ hotel room bookings, and a direct increase of $140,000 in food, beverage, and retail expenditures.

 

The positive economic effects extend beyond quantifiable measures, with 4-5 nights of practices at Pasco County Fields fostering increased patronage at local establishments. These economic impacts are on a growth trajectory, and Florida Premier FC remains committed to cultivating a positive economic environment in Pasco County.
