Kickoff for Saturday’s is slated for 6:45 p.m. at Greater Nevada Field. After a huge 4-0 win over RGVFC Wednesday, Reno has a chance to clinch a second-straight trip to the USL Cup Playoffs Saturday should the club win and San Antonio FC fails to top Seattle Sounders FC 2. Should Reno win and San Antonio win, Reno will just need one point to clinch. Should Reno get a draw and San Antonio lose, Reno would still clinch. Leading scorer Brian Brown also has a chance to become Reno’s all-time leading scorer Saturday after tying Dane Kelly’s record (18) Wednesday against RGVFC. Brown ranks Top 5 in all-time assists and goals at Reno 1868 FC. The last time these clubs met, Reno needed a late goal from midfielder Lindo Mfeka to walk out of Tulsa with a 1-1 draw. The draw kept Reno unbeaten during the longest road trip of the season and was a part of a 16-match unbeaten streak (club record). Despite Tulsa already have been eliminated from the playoffs, the club still boasts plenty of talent across the pitch. Former UNLV standout Joaquin Rivas leads Tulsa with 11 goals his year while FC Dallas loanee Jesús Ferreira ranks second with six goals on the season. That being said Tulsa has allowed 68 goals, the most in the Western Conference while Reno has scored 49 goals this year, ranking Top 15 in the USL. Tickets for Saturday’s match can be purchased at both the Greater Nevada Field ticket office and Reno1868FC.com. The first 1,868 fans Saturday will get a free pair of soccer socks courtesy of Reno Orthopedic Clinic. 3 STADIUM MAP FRONT OFFICE Eric Edelstein Doug Raftery President Sr. Director of Corporate Partner- ships Andy Smith General Manager Courtney Baker Corporate Partnerships Samantha Hicks Services Coordinator Chief Revenue Officer Max Simpson Aldo Amato Corporate Partnerships Coordinator Digital Media & PR Manager Robert Ritchie Vince Ruffino Ticket Sales Manager Marketing Manager Zoe Harmon Mckenna Bush Account Specialist - Member Creative Manager Services Stefan Bray Account Executive GREATER NEVADA FIELD 250 EVANS AVE RENO, NEVADA 89501 RENO1868FC.COM ¡Vamos Azules!

There’s more drama to come this weekend, however, with big games featuring across both conferences in the battle to either secure a place in the USL Cup Playoffs or claim homefield advantage in each conference.

  • Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction?
    Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction? Glen ME Duerr Department of History and Government Cedarville University 104 HRS, 251 N. Main Street Cedarville, Ohio, USA 45314 [email protected] RASAALA, Vol. 5, No. 1 (2014) 1 Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction? Abstract This paper examines the interrelated issues of time and money in club and international football. Specifically, the focus is on small Caribbean countries and territories that are rich in talent, but poor in opportunities. In the past decade, several professional teams in the Caribbean have played in the minor league system in North America, but have been stifled by several factors. This paper argues that the creation of a ‘Caribbean division’ that plays in either the North American Soccer League (NASL) or United Soccer League (USL)-Pro league would enrich and develop teams and players from all parties involved, and they would be more competitive in FIFA World Cup qualifying. The key ingredient is correctly timing such a venture. Keywords: Caribbean, soccer, North America, USL-Pro, NASL RASAALA, Vol. 5, No. 1 (2014) 2 Introduction Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), the regional governing body of soccer in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, sends three and a half teams to the quadrennial FIFA World Cup. The fourth-placed CONCACAF team plays a home and away playoff series against a team in another region, either in Asia, South America or Oceania, depending on the rotation. On every occasion since the number of berths was expanded to three in 1998, the United States and Mexico have taken two of the berths.

MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.
