We’re still unbeaten this season and making waves in multiple competitions! Today, we welcome Charlotte Independence for the first time since the team won a playoff penalty shootout at Werner Park last year. Gates will open at 1 p.m. followed by kick-off at 2 p.m.
See below for all the details and guidelines! View today’s match program here.
PREVIEW: CHARLOTTE INDEPENDENCE
Omaha wants revenge. After their 14-match unbeaten streak to end last season, the Owls were flying high into the playoffs… before Charlotte struck them down, winning on penalties after a scoreless draw through 120 minutes. Both teams will be a little winded going into this match, though: each went the distance in taking a USL Championship side to penalty kicks in the U.S. Open Cup. Union Omaha felled El Paso Locomotive in the shootout, while Charlotte took out Rhode Island FC 5-4.
SCHEDULE POSTER GIVEAWAY
To make things as straightforward as possible for our fans, 1,200 schedule posters will be given away after the match at the exit gates. Make sure to grab yours on your way out!
