“This is an exciting step forward for our organization and a

reflection of the momentum around our club and our venue," Riverhounds president Jeff Garner said.

"FNB is a highly respected Western Pennsylvania institution, and we’re proud to partner with an organization that shares our commitment to community and long-term growth,”

"This partnership positions us to continue elevating the experience for our fans and partners.”

In line with FNB’s commitment to child and family wellness, the company will provide access to financial education through the Riverhounds Academy youth soccer development program.

“This new partnership with the Riverhounds reinforces FNB’s

longstanding commitment to the Pittsburgh region and the communities we have served for over 160 years,” said FNB chairman Vincent J. Delie Jr. "We are very excited to continue to bring professional and youth soccer programs to our region.”

FNB operates more than 350 banking offices across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Virginia.

F.N.B. Stadium first opened in 2013 as Highmark Stadium, and Highmark Health and Allegheny Health Network remain committed long-term partners of the Riverhounds.

The stadium name change is effective immediately, and the first event as F.N.B. Stadium will be Saturday, April 25, at 7 p.m. when the Riverhounds host Greenville Triumph SC in their first Prinx Tires USL Cup match of 2026.
