North Carolina FC News Release


The Carolina RailHawks today announced their exhibition matches for the 2007 Inaugural Season. The games will give head coach Scott Schweitzer the opportunity to finalize his roster for the season and give the RailHawks match experience heading into their first season in existence as a franchise.

"The exhibition games are a good opportunity for the fans to see our players on the field and get to know them off the field," said Chris Economides, President and GM of the Carolina RailHawks. "With the quality of soccer in North Carolina with the ACC teams that make their home here as well as the USL 2nd Division franchises in Wilmington and Charlotte, we feel that these opponents will offer great competition for our players so we can see them in actual match situations."

All exhibition games at SAS Soccer Park will be free of charge to the public.
