About the Founder:

HANSON SAM GOESO

Hanson Sam Goeso, founder of Upstate United FC, brings both passion and vision to the Syracuse soccer community.  Hanson has always been deeply connected to sports, teamwork, and leadership. Beyond the field, he is a proud father of two beautiful daughters, ages 14 and 12, and enjoys music and photography in his personal time. A lifelong Chelsea FC supporter, Hanson’s love for the game fuels his mission: to provide Syracuse with a high-level soccer competition and create a pathway for underserved kids to chase their dreams. His goal is to build a club that not only competes at a top standard but also inspires and uplifts the next generation of athletes in Central New York.

''We firmly believe that humility is an essential characteristic as we seek to improve every day. Everything that we achieve is the result of sacrifice and hard work, and humility enables us to avoid becoming complacence.'' Hanson Goeso
