Rooted in Des Moines. Built for the Next Level.

Roots FC was founded on the belief that talent grows stronger together. We bring ambitious players, coaches, and supporters into one unified platform designed to elevate both performance and community impact. From UPSL competition to youth outreach through Rising Roots Initiative, we are investing in the long-term growth of soccer in Des Moines.

Roots Growing Since Fall 2025

In our inaugural season, Capital City Roots FC competed in the UPSL Premier Division and earned a playoff appearance in year one. What started as a vision quickly became a competitive platform built on discipline, belief, and community support. With expansion ahead and stronger foundations in place, the next chapters are focused on raising the standard and building sustainable success across Iowa.

Spring 2026 Partners

Without our partnerships, community followers, fans, players and staff – We would not have grown, improved, or made the connections and relationships we have today.

WITHOUT ALL OF YOU, WE ARE SMALL ROOTS.
