FIRST INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY MAY 24, 2019 WELCOME TO MADISON!

HERTHA BERLIN!

Our First International Friendly

Forward Madison FC will kick off its first-ever major international exhibition match Friday night, hosting German Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin at Breese Stevens Field. The game promises to be a historic one, not only as a huge test for FMFC’s players, but also as a chance for Madison’s soccer fans to watch one of the world’s major clubs in action.

Founded in 1892, Hertha Berlin is the largest soccer club in Germany’s capital city. Hertha was a found- ing member of the German Bundesliga and remains the only Berlin team in Germany’s first division. Her- tha Berlin finished 11th in the Bundesliga this season and competed in the Europa League as recently as 2017.

Speaking on “Let Me Be Forward” Wednesday, Head Coach Daryl Shore said he is planning to treat the game as a special occasion.

“We view the Hertha Berlin game as a bonus for all of our players,” Shore said. “The fans are going to get a chance to see everybody play, they’re going to see all of our guys get some minutes.”

FMFC will come into the Hertha game in the middle of a heavily-congested schedule in which the team has not had more than four days of rest between games since April. According to Shore, this means he will use the full depth of his roster for the friendly, and could also count on the presence of several non-loan Minnesota United players, as he did during FMFC’s exhibition against UW-Madison last month.

“[Fans] will get to see guys like Ally Hamis Ng’Anzi and Vital Nizigiyimana and Brandon Eaton, even Brandon Barnes will get some minutes,” Shore said. “[These are] guys that haven’t logged a lot of minutes but do a lot on the inside for our team, pushing our guys every day in training sessions. It’s an opportunity for those guys to get quality minutes against a quality opponent.”

Hertha Berlin is just starting its “Berlin Tears Down Walls” tour, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Hertha won 1-0 on Wednesday against Minnesota United, and will continue on to California following its stop in Madison.

Forward Madison is coming off consecutive defeats in USL League One play, having just fallen 3-1 on the road to North Texas SC on Wednesday. Following the Hertha game, the Flamingos will travel to Missouri next Wednesday for a hugely important third-round U.S. Open Cup battle with Saint Louis FC. If FMFC wins, it will advance to play a Major League Soccer team in round four.

For now, though, all the focus is on Friday. For Forward Madison, its match against Hertha Berlin will be a monumental opportunity to play the world’s game against one of the world’s top teams.

DARYL SHORE - Head Coach and Technical Director

Forward Madison FC announced that Daryl Shore would be the team’s first head coach and technical director.

Shore, 48, has spent 25 years coaching throughout his career. He served as an assistant coach in Major League Soc- cer for the Chicago Fire and Real Salt Lake, as well as head coach positions in three lower division teams.

Shore coached teams have qualified for the playoffs in 17 of his 23 professional seasons, including nine of his ten seasons in Chicago. In Chicago, Shore and Wilt worked together with Wilt serving as the MLS team’s President and General Manager. With the Fire, Shore earned three US Open Cup Championships, the 2003 MLS Supporters Shield and twice was an MLS Cup finalist.

After leaving RSL, Shore served this past season as an assistant coach of the 2018 NPSL Champion Miami FC 2. He has a long history and deep passion for the game. Attending college at Birmingham-Southern, Shore started on the men’s soccer team from 1989-1993 as the goalkeeper. As a two-time NAIA All-American Shore was inducted into the Birmingham-Southern Athletic Hall of Fame. Following his collegiate career, Shore became an assistant at his alma mater for two years before signing on to play professionally with the Birmingham Grasshoppers. In 1994, he earned recognition for his play by being awarded Goalkeeper of the Year in the USISL.

Following his stint with the Grasshoppers, Shore signed with the New Orleans Riverboat Gamblers where he served as an assistant coach as well as goalkeeper in 1995. By 1998, he became head coach of New Orleans. Shore led both New Orleans and expansion Lehigh Valley Steam to USL playoff runs. He joined Bob Bradley’s staff in Chicago as its goalkeeper coach in 2000. Just one year later Shore was promoted to assistant coach. By 2002, Shore had made a name for himself within the Fire organization and Wilt named him Director of Youth Development and Assistant Coaching Director of the Chicago Fire Juniors in addition to his first team coaching duties.
