Hall of Fame

FC DELCO Hall of Fame

In November 2000, FC DELCO celebrated its 12-year history at the inaugural FC DELCO Banquet. That night’s excitement was the induction of the inaugural DELCO Hall of Fame Class of 2000. Attended by over 400, the evening was a moving testimonial to the objectives and dreams of the club’s founders and players. Each year since our first event, we continue to honor special players at the FC DELCO Hall of Fame Banquet.

The Hall of Fame Exhibit, built by Sam Holt, is located in the center of the United Sports Training Center where each member has his/her picture and short biography posted. Included in the exhibit is a Wall of Fame, which includes pictures of all of our Region Champions, National Finalist and National Champions. Finally, the Trophy case includes some of our Club mementos as well as a National Championship Cup honoring our five National Champions.
