Rooted in St. Louis. Run by Fans.
Welcome to Forest Park Rangers FC, the heart of independent soccer in the Gateway City.
We aren’t just another club; we are a community institution. Legally operating as Gateway Football Group, we do business as Forest Park Rangers FC to honor the green soul of our city and the spirit of the people who call it home.
The Power of Ownership
At Forest Park Rangers FC, we’ve ditched the traditional corporate sports model. We are fully member-owned. This means the club doesn’t belong to a distant billionaire; it belongs to the supporters in the stands, the families in the neighborhoods, and the players on the pitch.
When we say “our club,” we actually mean it. Every decision we make is driven by our members, ensuring that our growth always aligns with our values.
Our St. Louis Mission
Our focus is local because our roots are deep. We believe soccer is a bridge that connects the diverse neighborhoods of St. Louis. Our mission is built on seven pillars of purpose, but here is our focus:
- Community First: We partner with local businesses, non-profits, and youth programs to ensure our impact is felt far beyond the touchline.
- Authentic Culture: We celebrate the grit, history, and passion that make St. Louis a world-class soccer city.
- Accessibility: By being fan-owned, we keep the beautiful game accessible to everyone, ensuring the “Gateway to the West” remains the “Gateway to Soccer.”
This is Your Club
Whether you’re a lifelong St. Louisan, new to the city, or watching from afar, there is a seat at the table for you. Forest Park Rangers FC is a testament to what happens when a community decides to build something for itself.
