OSNER’S FC names Floyd Bennett Sports Complex as Brooklyn home

OSNER’S FC has designated Floyd Bennett Sports Complex in Brooklyn as the permanent home for its First Team, with plans to host UPSL Premier, U.S. Open Cup and 2027 NPSL matches there. The club also plans to use the site for U18 and U19 academy competition starting in 2027, linking youth development to the senior team.

Why it matters: - OSNER’S FC now has a fixed Brooklyn base for its First Team, which can strengthen matchday identity, supporter turnout and ties to local neighborhoods. - The move also gives the club a visible pathway from academy soccer to senior competition, which can make development more tangible for players and families. - Floyd Bennett Sports Complex is entering a new management era at the same time, creating a shared reset for the venue and the club.

What happened: - OSNER’S FC announced Floyd Bennett Sports Complex, inside historic Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, as the new home for its First Team. - The club will use the venue for UPSL Premier, U.S. Open Cup competition and the 2027 National Premier Soccer League season. - Beginning in 2027, OSNER’S FC plans to add home competition for its U18 and U19 academy teams at the same complex. - Gateway Hospitality LLC, a subsidiary of ExplorUS, assumed operations of the former Aviator facility in July 2026 and renamed it Floyd Bennett Sports Complex.

The details: - The complex is at 3159 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11234. - The location gives OSNER’S FC access to communities including Flatbush, Marine Park, Mill Basin and Canarsie. - J. Ronald Nazaire, OSNER’S FC president and acting general manager, said the club wants to establish roots in Brooklyn and create a place players, academy families, supporters and the broader community can identify with. - Gateway Hospitality plans a phased approach that includes restoration, facility assessment, community engagement and long-term revitalization. - ExplorUS operates hospitality and recreational services at destinations across the United States. - OSNER’S FC said the club’s developmental structure connects the academy to senior competition through UPSL Division 2, UPSL Division 1, UPSL Premier and NPSL. - The club said the venue can also support youth clinics, academy activities, community programming and events over time. - OSNER’S FC described itself as a Brooklyn-based club with Haitian-American roots and a focus on competitive excellence, player development, diversity and community.

Between the lines: - The announcement is as much about identity as scheduling, with OSNER’S FC framing the move as a long-term home rather than a temporary field arrangement. - Floyd Bennett Field’s aviation and military history gives the club a symbolic backdrop for a message about ambition, progress and belonging. - The academy plan suggests OSNER’S FC wants players to see a direct route from youth matches to the First Team instead of treating senior soccer as distant or abstract. - Brooklyn’s diversity is central to the club’s pitch, and the venue choice reinforces a goal of serving multiple communities while keeping Haitian heritage in the club’s core story.

What's next: - OSNER’S FC will begin operating out of Floyd Bennett Sports Complex as its First Team home for upcoming competition. - The club plans to expand venue use in 2027 for U18 and U19 academy matches. - Gateway Hospitality’s phased restoration and community-engagement work will shape how the complex develops over time. - OSNER’S FC is positioning the site as a place for future matches, clinics and community events as the club grows.

The bottom line: - OSNER’S FC is not just changing fields. It is staking its Brooklyn identity on Floyd Bennett and building a clearer bridge from youth soccer to the senior game.
