Union Omaha News Release
Both teams march into this first-ever matchup with each other carrying 3 points in their group here in the Prinx Tires USL Cup, giving this match massive implications for who could advance. A victory here could especially put Omaha into pole position in the group; after this match, they face the other two USL League One teams in the group, while Lexington and Louisville have two more Championship fixtures ahead of them (including each other). The Owls may have to fight off a little fatigue to get there, though; they fought hard to earn a 2-1 win at Knoxville in a midweek fixture, one in which yet another core player in Ryen Jiba left the match injured. Luckily, they’ve at least brought in midfield reinforcements via Allen Gavilanes, an Indy Eleven loanee notable for 50+ appearances with Greenville Triumph in USL League One and Miami FC in the Championship.
ABOUT LOUISVILLE CITY FC
Three teams have two professional USL titles to their names. One, Orlando City, now plays in MLS. The other two will be playing at Morrison Stadium today. Louisville City have long been the envy of many a USL team, with championships won in 2017 and 2018, plus two more finals reached in 2019 and 2022. Right now, they’re coming off back-to-back Players’ Shields and are competing well for a third despite rolling into this match having lost back-to-back matches in the league for the first time since 2023. Homegrown talent Jansen Wilson is an obvious X-factor for the visitors; he’s one of only two players in USL Championship with 2+ xG and xA (expected goals and assists, respectively), underscoring his ability to impact the game in a myriad of ways.

Graduating seniors, from high school or college, can bring in their graduation caps and receive a free ticket to this match.
