Forward Madison FC News Release
SETTING THE SCENE
Forward Madison FC host their first home match of the season on brand new turf at Breese Stevens Field this Saturday. This match will be the second of the Prinx Tires USL Cup for the Mingos and the first for Detroit City FC. FMFC will have their work cut out for them playing against another USL Championship level Club in their very first home appearance of 2026. With a packed house and coming off of a fresh loss to AV Alta last weekend, Forward will have plenty to prove.
LAST MATCH RECAP - AV v MAD
The 'Mingos started the match with a solid look at goal, forcing an early corner. Shortly after, AV Alta came down the other end and earned a penalty kick that Desdunes converted to give the hosts an early lead. JT Harms came up big in the 15', keeping their lead to one goal. AV did find a second goal through a shot from Antwi from outside the box that found the top corner in the 21'.
Forward Madison FC came out of the break and spent the second half dominating possession and chances in the match. Munjoma was brought down in the box in the 82' with clear contact, but the referee opted to show the 'Mingo a yellow instead for simulation. The rest of the game played out similarly, with Madison looking to test the AV Alta keeper, but the second half ended as it began at 2-0.

This is sure to stir a new level of excitement and drive for the boys as they play in front of their home crowd.
Range of Attack: With goals coming from seven different Flamingos across all competitions this year, Madison stands to be a formidable opponent for any team with dangerous players across the field.
