"One of our goals in bidding on the World Cup was to ensure that the entire Washington State soccer community was connected to and celebrated through this once-in-a-generation event. As Lumen prepares to host the world, our club's needs turned into an incredible opportunity to make good on that commitment," said Seattle Reign FC Chief Business Officer Maya Mendoza-Exstrom. "From the beginning, it was important for us to find a solution that keeps Reign FC matches in Washington while creating new opportunities to engage fans across the state. Spokane has always been an incredible home for soccer at all levels with tremendous support, and bringing Reign FC matches to ONE Spokane Stadium allows us to expand our reach, strengthen our statewide connection and deliver an incredible matchday experience during a historic moment for the sport. We're grateful for the strong partnership with Spokane Zephyr FC and Spokane Velocity FC leadership, along with Mayor Lisa Brown, a true champion of soccer and women's soccer in the region."

Reign FC's presence in Spokane reflects the club's long-term vision to grow women's soccer throughout the Pacific Northwest. The move also creates a unique opportunity to introduce new fans to the club, build deeper community relationships and elevate the Reign FC brand statewide during a season that will draw global attention to the region.

"We've seen how passionate Spokane fans are about the game, and we're excited to bring our world-class roster and NWSL action across the state," said Seattle Reign FC General Manager Lesle Gallimore. "This is about growing the game, reaching new communities and ensuring that Reign FC proudly represents the entire state of Washington."

A modern, soccer-specific facility located in downtown Spokane, Washington, One Spokane Stadium is home to Spokane Zephyr FC (USL Super League / W League) and Spokane Velocity (USL League One), which are both owned and operated by Aequus Sports, LLC.

Amenities include suites, hospitality spaces for party-deck activations and potential for pitch-side seating.

"As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, this opportunity places Spokane firmly in the global soccer conversation," said Katie Harnetiaux, President of Aequus Sports. "I want to sincerely thank Spokane Public Schools for their collaboration and support, as well as the Public Facilities District, the Seattle Sounders, and the Seattle Reign. The significant investments made by all of our organizations made it possible to host this terrific series of events at ONE Spokane Stadium."

"We're incredibly excited to host the Seattle Sounders and Seattle Reign here in the Lilac City," said Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown. "Spokane is a true soccer city, and welcoming Concacaf competition and other visiting teams is a tremendous opportunity to celebrate our passionate fans and showcase the energy and enthusiasm for the sport across our community."
