"When these kids and families come and watch these girls perform up close, it gives them that feeling that maybe someday they can be in their place," Head Coach Omid Namazi said. "It inspires them, gives them that passion for the game and makes our players feel good. We always talk about the twelfth player and that's our fans. That's our support."

In Power FC's first match of the season, the club battled back from a 1-0 deficit for a majority of the first half to claim the win. Forward Gianna Gourley's 38th-minute equalizer put Power FC back on track, fueling a dominant, more cohesive second half.

Although Power FC returned home with three points, there's work to be done as the team continues to build towards becoming championship contenders.

"We got the three points and you're always happy to win especially when it's on the road," Namazi said. "I think there's a lot of room to improve in terms of establishing rhythm, controlling the tempo, connecting passes. playing forward and creating opportunities. On the flip side, making sure we're more compact and that we don't leave gaps for opportunities in front of our goal."

Players look forward to welcoming fans back to Audi Field and bringing elite-level soccer to the district all season long.

"Being able to wear this club's badge means something and I'm super excited to represent DC Power FC at Audi Field," Forward Jaydah Bedoya said. "It's going to be a great atmosphere and hoping we'll get a good crowd. We know what we need to do and that we have to get the win at home."
