The Las Vegas soccer team, <a href="https://www.world-today-news.com/telefootball-net-usl-championship-matchup-san-antonio-vs-rio-grande-valley-on-august-17-2023/" title="Telefootball.net – USL Championship Matchup: San Antonio vs Rio Grande Valley on August 17, 2023.”>Lights FC, is preparing for its first participation in the USL league after achieving fourth place in the Western Conference after losing its last game when visiting North Carolina FC by a score of 2 to 1.
But despite the loss, the team ensured that its first league game in its history will be played at its home, Cashman Field.
The game will take place on the Day of the Dead, Friday, November 1 at 7:30. USL league games are a single game at the home of the highest ranked team.
“No one chose us to be where we are. We have already accomplished a lot this year, but I know this group and I know myself and we are going to continue to be hungry for more,” said Lights head coach Dennis Sánchez.
The conference quarterfinal match will be against Sacramento Republic FC.
If they win the match, the Las Vegas team would face the winner of New Mexico United and Phoenix Rising FC. If the game is against New Mexico, the game would be in Albuquerque, but if Phoenix is victorious, the team would play in Las Vegas.
But to get to this moment, the Lights have to defeat Sacramento, a team they defeated twice this season, 1-0 on July 3 and 2-1 on September 21.
According to a press release from the team, “this is more than a game; “It is the beginning of something incredible for our city and our team.”
The Las Vegas team has shown a great change since the team was sold to José Bautista.
