FC CINCINNATI 2 NOTES

MLS NEXT PRO DECISION DAY – The 2024 MLS NEXT Pro Regular Season wraps up Sunday afternoon with 28 of the league’s 29 teams in action across the country. FC Cincinnati 2 and Orlando City B, along with six other Eastern Conference matchups, will kick off at 1 p.m. ET. The Orange and Blue have already booked their ticket to the postseason, but final table standings are up for grabs.

EASTERN CONFERENCE CROWN – The Orange and Blue enter the weekend just one point behind Philadelphia Union II who currently hold the top spot in the east. The two sides have jostled for Eastern Conference supremacy for nearly four months with the Conference Title on the line Sunday.

The Orange and Blue will need some help from Chicago Fire FC II, as three points for Philadelphia would keep Cincinnati second. If Union II earn a regulation time draw against Fire II, FCC 2 would need all three points to jump to the top.

However, in the event of a Union II loss, the Orange and Blue can take the top spot in the Eastern Conference with two or more points against Orlando.

No matter the result at TQL Stadium, or other Eastern Conference results, FC Cincinnati 2 are guaranteed a top two finish in the conference.

WELCOME BACK TO TQL STADIUM – Sunday’s match will mark the third time FC Cincinnati 2 will play a home match at TQL Stadium. The Orange and Blue are unbeaten in the venue, where they earned two points against Columbus Crew 2 in 2022, and three points against New York City FC II in 2023.

The Orange and Blue have scored five goals in those two…
