August 3, 2024 – United Soccer League One (USL1)
Union Omaha News Release
The Owls have dropped two straight matches in USL1 play for the first time all season, but if there’s one team they’d want to defeat to curb that slide, it’s their avian arch-rivals to the north in Forward Madison. Both teams are looking to rebound from 1-0 losses last weekend, meaning this could become a gritty game in a hurry. Whoever wins will have a great springboard into August, though, sitting right near the top of the table.
ABOUT FORWARD MADISON FC
Forward Madison are one of the USL League One clubs. They’re always a major draw, from the stands to the shops. However their sporting history is far more checkered. Their highest finish in League One is fourth in their inaugural 2019 campaign, and last season was the first time since then that they reached the playoffs. The ‘Mingos are also still searching for their first playoff win. This season saw them rocket out of the gates though, making it to Matchday 10 in the league before they lost. While their form has been a little shaky since then, between their league standing and their solid performance in the Jägermeister Cup, this year may be their biggest chance yet at winning silverware.
CENTRIS FAMILY FUN ZONE CLOSURE
Due to the storm’s impact at Werner Park, the Centris Family Fun Zone will be closed for this match, in order to preserve the safety of our fans.
