About us

Our Story

Elite Veterans FC was founded in the city of Bowie, Maryland in 2005 to bring soccer lovers together and promote healthy living and solidarity. Initially called Bowie FC, the club evolved into Friends in Club in 2015, and later adopted its current name, Elite Veterans FC, in 2020 with the election of Pius Ambe as its pioneer president.

As a club, we promote healthy lifestyle, diversity and inclusion, responsible citizenship, education and youth development. Fostersolidarity, networking and social interaction for members as well as providing a marketplace for businesses and professionals to thrive, including humanitarian programs for the under-privileged in our communities.

Since its creation, the club has grown in size and stature, now averaging over 40 active members annually. Elite Veterans FC takes pride in being one of the very first official soccer clubs in the state of Maryland. It trains weekly on Wednesdays at Old Collington Rd Park and Saturdays at Church Road Park in Bowie.

Beyond our athletic achievements, the club is a beacon of brotherhood, community solidarity, and healthy living. The club fosters strong bonds among members and their families and enjoys warm relationships with fellow clubs across the DMV and beyond. A signature event, the President’s Cup, is held yearly to boost internal competition and camaraderie. In addition, the club hosts an annual Family Day, celebrating the spouses and children who support our journey.
