About Us
At Irvine FC, we don’t just train players. We build people, leaders, and competitors for life.
Irvine FC is a soccer organization based in Irvine, California, offering a complete development pathway for both youth academy players and adult athletes.
​
Our club is built on a clear philosophy: developing players holistically on and off the field. We believe great players are formed through structure, discipline, education, and character, not just talent.
​
Irvine FC brings together an internationally experienced coaching staff with backgrounds ranging from MLS academy–level programs to national team and first-division academy environments. This global perspective allows us to provide modern, high-standard training tailored to each stage of a player’s development.
​
For our academy players, we focus on age-appropriate development, technical excellence, game intelligence, and personal growth in a safe and professional environment.
For our adult and semi-professional teams, we emphasize performance, accountability, and preparation for competitive soccer at the next level.
​
Under the leadership of President Shayan Hesabi, Irvine FC is committed to building a strong soccer culture, clear pathways, and long-term opportunities for every player who represents the club.
​
The club has reached the 3rd Round of the U.S. Open Cup twice and has competed at the Premier and Division One levels of the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), while also actively participating in competitive academy leagues across the United States.
Our Story
Irvine FC was founded in 2020 with a clear purpose: to create a professional soccer environment where players are developed with structure, discipline, and integrity.
The club was built on the belief that soccer is more than competition — it is a pathway for personal growth, leadership, and long-term development.
​
Drawing from international experience across elite academy systems, national team environments, and professional coaching education, Irvine FC was designed to bridge the gap between development and opportunity.
​
Since 2020, Irvine FC has remained committed to doing things the right way, focusing on long-term player development for both academy players and adult athletes, while building a strong culture on and off the pitch.
