Tacoma Defiance News Release
Sounders FC 2 (5-17-5, 20 points) continues its first campaign in Tacoma tomorrow against Phoenix Rising FC (16-7-5, 53 points) in the 15th match of the season at Cheney Stadium. Kickoff for tomorrow's match is at 7:00 p.m. PT, with the game being live-streamed on ESPN+, featuring Andrew Harvey, James Riley and Dave Clark on the call.
In November of 2017, Seattle Sounders FC and the Tacoma Rainiers announced that beginning in 2018, Sounders FC 2's previously-announced transition to Tacoma is accelerating, allowing S2 to play its home matches at Cheney Stadium while progress continues toward a new soccer-specific facility. The two clubs previously reached a historic agreement to build a 5,000-seat facility in Central Tacoma on the footprint of Cheney Stadium. While that process moves forward, South Sound soccer fans are now able to see their USL side play in Tacoma several seasons ahead of schedule.
