HARRISON, NJ – NJ/NY Gotham FC return to Red Bull Arena for the club’s second home game of the regular season to face Racing Louisville on Sunday, April 28 (5 p.m. ET; NWSL+/MSG).
Gotham FC fell 2-0 on the road against the Washington Spirit, and the club is looking to bounce back against Racing on Sunday.
