FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT

This Saturday marks the last home match of the season for Phoenix Rising, and the club is eager to harness the support of its home crowd for extra motivation to secure all three points. A win would bring Rising level with Memphis 901 in the standings and keep the possibility of hosting a playoff game alive. Here's the situation: Phoenix Rising can secure a postseason spot with a win against Memphis 901 on Saturday. Even with a draw or a loss, the club could still qualify this weekend. If Phoenix draws and San Antonio also draws, Phoenix is through. If both Phoenix and San Antonio lose, Phoenix is still through.

Phoenix Rising is celebrating with live music at the stadium in the concourse and a Free Todos Rojos Picture Frame, presented by Metro by T-Mobile. Get there early and don't miss out. Stadium gates will be open 1.5 hours before kickoff at 6:00 p.m.

Heading into Week 32 of the USL Championship season, things looked desperate for Phoenix Rising. The team had dropped three consecutive games against opponents close to them in the standings. Yet, Rising still controlled its own destiny. At the start of the week, the club needed 11 points from four matches to guarantee a postseason spot. By the end of the week, it needed just one win.

"First, we need to get into the playoffs, we are not there yet. We need to win Saturday and focus on that," said Interim Head Coach Diego Gomez. "Then, it's always good to win on the road, to prove when you have games against those opponents that you have done it before, and you play with that confidence. We want to finish as high as possible, number one. Get into the playoffs number two. Let's finish as high as possible and get in a good spot for the playoffs."
