OFFICIAL GAME DAY PROGRAM

JUNE 25, 2019

Special Exhibition Game Forward Madison FC vs Minnesota United FC Tuesday, June 25, 2019; 7:00 p.m. CT Breese Stevens Field - Madison, WI

Forward Madison will mark its name in Wisconsin soccer history Tuesday night at 7 p.m., hosting Major League Soccer club Minnesota United in a special exhibition game at Breese Stevens Field. This will be the first time an MLS team has played in Wisconsin in 14 years, and the first time ever that an MLS team has visited Madison.

According to Forward Madison Managing Director Peter Wilt, the exhibition will be one of the marquee events of the FMFC’s inaugural season.

“This match will be the highlight of the summer for many of our fans,” Wilt said. “The chance to see a Major League Soccer team play in Madison is extremely exciting.”

Tuesday’s exhibition represents just one aspect of a partnership between Forward Madison and Minnesota United, which the two clubs announced in December. The Flamingos have also received several Loons on loan from Minnesota, and the teams are sharing scouting and technical resources.

FMFC’s roster should be at full strength for the game, with midfielder Danny Tenorio having made his full return to the team during Saturday’s 4-1 victory over North Texas SC. With an important USL League One game coming up on Friday in Toronto, Head Coach Daryl Shore will likely look to tap into the depth of his squad, giving some players chances who haven’t come by lots of minutes so far. PREVIEW CONT. June 25

Minnesota United, meanwhile, is coming off consecutive wins in the U.S. Open Cup. The Loons advanced to the quarterfinal last Tuesday when Mason Toye (who has played seven games for Madison this year on loan) scored the winning goal in the final minutes to beat Houston Dynamo 3-2.

Interestingly, Forward Madison and Minnesota United are connected by more than just their partnership: FMFC Managing Director Peter Wilt was the former General Manager of the Minnesota Thunder, and both MNUFC Sporting Director Manny Lagos and coach Amos Magee played for him while he was there; Flamingo players Connor Tobin and J.C. Banks are both former Loons, as is assistant coach Neil Hlavaty; Jiro Barriga Toyama was on trial for Minnesota this preseason; and Christian “Pato” Díaz came to the attention of FMFC’s coaching staff from the recommendation of MNUFC star Miguel Ibarra.

Fans who arrive early on Tuesday may have the chance to buy a “Battle of the Birds” split scarf, which has drawn big buzz online. FMFC sold 100 scarves last week, with 150 more set to go on sale when “Flamboyance,” the stadium store at Breese Stevens Field, opens at noon on Tuesday (limit one scarf per ticket).

Following Tuesday’s exhibition, Forward Madison will begin a three-game road stretch in USL League One with a match against Toronto FC II on Friday, June 28 at 3 p.m. The ‘Min- gos are just four points out of playoff position, and will be looking to continue a two-game winning run. JUST ANNOUNCED!

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.
