Fayetteville Mustangs News Release


A Message to Our Loyal Fayetteville Mustangs Fans,

It is with a heavy heart that we, the Fayetteville Mustangs, announce our removal from the remainder of the 2023 National Arena League (NAL) schedule due to funding challenges. We understand the disappointment and frustration this news brings, and we want to take a moment to address our incredible fans who have supported us through thick and thin.

First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your unwavering support, passion, and dedication have been the driving force behind our team's spirit. From the cheers in the stands to the encouraging messages online, you have been the heart and soul of the Fayetteville Mustangs family.

Unfortunately, financial difficulties have prevented us from fulfilling our obligations to our players, coaches, and team travel expenses. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to find a viable solution to overcome these challenges in time to continue the 2023 season. The decision to remove us from the schedule was made by the NAL team owners, and it is a decision that deeply saddens us.

We want to assure you that this setback is not the end of the Fayetteville Mustangs. Our commitment to bringing arena football to Fayetteville remains steadfast. The NAL will be exploring options in Fayetteville for the 2024 season, and we are actively working towards securing a brighter future for our team and our fans.

To all of our supporters who have invested their time, energy, and passion into the Fayetteville Mustangs, we understand your disappointment. We share in your disappointment. However, we ask for your continued support and belief in our resilience. Together, we will overcome this temporary setback and come back stronger than ever.

We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Commissioner Siegfried and the NAL for their understanding and support throughout this challenging process. Their commitment to the growth and success of arena football is unwavering, and we are grateful for their efforts to explore options for our team's future.

We will continue to keep you updated on any developments regarding the Fayetteville Mustangs and the upcoming 2024 season. Please stay connected with us through our official channels, including our website and social media platforms, for the latest news and announcements.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to our fans for standing by us during this difficult time. Your loyalty and passion mean the world to us, and we are determined to make you proud in the seasons to come.
