Gotham FC vs. Washington Spirit
Get ready—Gotham FC takes on the Washington Spirit in a special Rivalry Weekend match on Saturday, August 9, at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, NJ. The highly anticipated game falls on the one-year anniversary of the launch of Keep Her in the Game, a research-backed initiative created by Gotham FC to address the disproportionate rate at which adolescent girls opt out of sports. To mark the occasion, podcaster Kylie Kelce will take part in a pregame ceremony and coin toss. Grammy Award-winning singer Ciara will light the ceremonial pregame torch, joined by youth wrestler Honor Smoke as torch bearer. Families and fans can arrive early for a Fan Fest presented by CarMax, beginning at 10:30 AM, which will offer fun, hands-on activities for all ages, like bouquet-making, giveaways, photo opportunities, and the debut of Dove’s Confidence Wall. Tickets are available at this link, with a special 20% ticket discount for readers of NJMom for the August 9 match.
