Grossi Football Club (Grossi FC) was founded in 2022 in Long Island, New York, by Marcos Zhingre with one simple idea — to create a team where local players could compete, grow, and showcase their talent in a professional environment without the heavy financial burden that often limits opportunities. What started as a small indoor team of passionate players quickly transformed into a community-driven project with bigger ambitions.

Today, Grossi FC is a registered semi-professional club competing in the Long Island Soccer Football League (LISFL) Division 2 for the 2025–26 season, and preparing to make the leap into the UPSL Division 2 in Spring 2026. Our mission is to give players from Long Island and beyond a true pathway to higher levels of competition, while keeping the club rooted in community values and local support.

What We’ve Built

• A professional training environment with licensed coaches, structured practices, and match analysis powered by TraceUp AI camera systems.

• Access to recovery and sports science through our partnership with Manual Aspect, offering strength & conditioning and recovery services.

• Exclusive player benefits included in our seasonal registration — team apparel, professional photos, highlight video access, and matchday awards.

• A growing women’s program, set to launch in Summer 2026, designed to provide female athletes a competitive platform during their off-season.

Who We Work With

Grossi FC partners with local and national brands that share our vision of community and growth. From performance gear like Salt Athletic and GRPZ Soccer, to wellness and recovery companies, to local restaurants and businesses, we proudly showcase our partners both on and off the field. These collaborations allow us to keep costs accessible for players while building a professional atmosphere.

Our Vision

Grossi FC isn’t just a soccer club — it’s a community movement. We strive to empower players, engage local families and businesses, and grow Long Island’s soccer culture into something lasting and inspiring. Every training, every match, and every partnership is a step toward a bigger future for the club and the players who make it possible.
