Cavalry FC Prospects VS FC Prospects ‘Al Classico’ 2018

As we build our team for the inaugural season, we are excited to host a ‘prospects game’ with our provincial rivals FC Edmonton. The game will be part of a home and away series that fans are already dubbing ‘Al Classico’ … as an Alberta play on the famous Barcelona and Real Madrid rivalry game ‘El Clasico’.

‘Al Classico’ takes place on Saturday September 29th at Spruce Meadows on the Meadows on the Green Ring – the home pitch for Cavalry FC. The purpose of this game is to look at the local talent from both sides that will be gunning to make the roster for the 2019 season. It will also provide our fans with a preview of the potential players and the game day experience that we hope will be something very special.

Cavalry FC Head Coach and General Manager, Tommy Wheeldon Jr., has already begun the search for the talented, local stars that are hungry to wear the colours of Cavalry FC. On the heels of winning a PDL Championship in his final season with the Calgary Foothills FC PDL team, it is evident that there is talent in this City.

Limited tickets for ‘Al Classico’ are still available via: https://bit.ly/2QxGPgG. Seating is festival style (on bleachers) and ticket pricing is $25 (Adults), $15 (ages 3-12 years) and free for children 2 and under. Parking will be available at Spruce Meadows on Game Day for $10 per vehicle or the complimentary Red Arrow Shuttle Bus will be available for fans from the Somerset/Bridlewood LRT Station between 2:00pm and 6:30pm.
