US OPEN CUP

In his third start of the season, Rowdies goalkeeper Josh Lambo' notched his first shutout of the season.

A matchup with rivals Miami FC now looms for FC Tampa Bay in the second round of the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday, June 22 at Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale. Miami FC's match with the Central Florida Kraze was forced to extra time after the teams were deadlocked at 1-1 after 90 minutes. Miami midfielder/forward Paulo Araujo Jr. took over late into extra time, scoring four goals in the final 10 minutes of the match, giving Miami FC a 5-1 win to advance to the second round against the Rowdies.

Tampa Bay is among the final 18 cities under consideration to serve as a potential host city for the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup, and your support is essential. The USA Bid Committee has created a petition campaign to help show the level of dedication our community has to hosting the FIFA World Cup. A goal of 50,000 votes has been set!
