It’s a historic night for Los Búhos, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Not even a week after the World Cup came to a close in our country, Union Omaha will be welcoming international competition to Omaha for the very first time. As sporting director Jamie Henderson noted, “It’s important that we create experiences that connect Omaha to the global game and different footballing cultures in what is an exciting summer for the sport.” To be able to welcome Liga MX talent to Morrison Stadium is a perfect example of that experience, and it allows the Owls to test their mettle in a way we’ve never seen before.
ABOUT FC JUÁREZ
FC Juárez has been a Liga MX team since 2015, playing right on the border between Ciudad Juárez and El Paso, Texas. Los Bravos have one championship and one runner-up finish in the Liga de Ascenso, and were also runners-up in the 2019 Clausura after a dramatic run in the knockout stage. Los Bravos recently also finished eighth in the Apertura 2025 with a team featuring several internationals, both senior and for the Mexican youth teams. Panamanian José Luis Rodríguez consistently started on the left wing for his country in the World Cup, while players like Denzell García and Jairo Torres have been capped by the Mexican national team. Their U-21 team, meanwhile, have qualified for six straight playoffs and were runners-up in the Clausura 2025 tournament.

LIL OWLS CLUB
As this is not a regular season match, we will not have Lil Owls Club for this match.
Do you have a Owls fan aged 12 or under? When you sign them up for our FREE Lil Owls Club, they’ll receive a FREE ticket, FREE access to the Centris Family Fun Zone on Saturdays for regular season matches, and can watch warm-ups from the side line during pre-match. For more information on how your little one can join the Lil Owls Club, brought to you by Ralston Vet and Precision Physical Therapy, go to the box office or visit here.
Check-in is at the main entrance to Morrison Stadium, at the ticket window. Plan to arrive an hour before kickoff to ensure that your Lil Owl is on time to watch warm-ups, then have them meet at the top of Section 101 by 6:23 to be led down to the field.
