Know Before You Go: Union Omaha vs. Richmond Kickers

June 25, 2025 - United Soccer League One (USL1)
Union Omaha News Release


There's a whole lot going on for 2025's third matchday at our friendly confines! Between Pride Night and Pups on the Pitch, there's plenty to see beyond the 90 minutes of match time. Within the white lines, we'll be taking on Richmond Kickers for the 14th time in our history, looking to improve on our 5-4-4 record against them. Both teams have been struggling a bit, but at least Omaha's netted some decent points of late; after winning three of their first five matches, the Kickers haven't put a W on the board since their April 9 win... against Union Omaha. That was in Richmond, however, and now they're traveling out here after a loss on the weekend to table-topping Spokane. This could be a great opportunity for Los Búhos to tally another three points and jump a couple teams in the standings.

ABOUT RICHMOND KICKERS

After a 2024 USL League One semifinals rematch last time out at Werner Park, we now square off against our opponent from the quarterfinals. Richmond Kickers are a USL institution, and despite treading water in the standings so far this season, they're always a dangerous mix of veterans (Maxi Schenfeld, Emiliano Terzaghi) and youth (James Sneddon, Griffin Garnett). Their catalyst, though, could be newcomer Darwin Espinal. After winning the Golden Ball in NISA with Maryland Bobcats, he's taken to USL League One like a duck to water with six goals and two assists so far this year. Richmond as a whole are one of the league's high-flyers with 20 goals scored, but their 21 goals allowed means this could be an end-to-end fixture.

PRIDE NIGHT

Tonight will be our annual Pride Night! We have numerous table displays from local LGBTQ+ and allied organizations around the concourse, such as ACLU Nebraska and Rainbow Parents of NE. On top of that the team will be wearing our 'Love Shines' Pride pre-match jerseys, which can be purchased at the Storm Front Team Store with proceeds going towards OmahaForUs.

PUPS AT THE PITCH

This is our first Pups at the Pitch night of the season, with more to come on Wednesdays throughout the year! Please use this link to register your furry friends pre-match, or scan the QR code at Gate 1. You can check in at the table outside Gate 1 so both you and your dog(s) can get in.

Dogs must stay either in the berms or on the concourse throughout the match.

For our first Pups night of the year, we'll also have a real treat of a halftime show: a corgi race! Special thanks goes out to our friends at the Omaha Corgi Crew for helping put this together.
