FC Cincinnati, through the FC Cincinnati Foundation, is committed to expanding access to soccer across the Greater Cincinnati region. Mini pitches and community soccer fields play a key role in this effort—providing safe, accessible spaces for children and families to play, learn, and connect through the game 

Since the club’s inception, FC Cincinnati has invested in building mini pitches across the region, with 19 total sites underway or completed, including seven new locations currently in development. These spaces serve as more than fields—they are community gathering places that inspire participation and create opportunities for youth to grow both on and off the field. 

To continue this work, the FC Cincinnati Foundation has launched a Soccer Field Grant Program, supporting schools, nonprofits, and community organizations in developing new mini pitches, soccer fields, and related improvements. The program is designed to expand access to the game while ensuring long-term community impact.  

Mini pitches are available for free play unless programming is scheduled.
