Memphis 901 FC News Release


MEMPHIS, Tennessee - Tickets for Memphis 901 FC's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup third-round showdown with Hartford Athletic on Wednesday, May 29 are now on sale to the public at just $15 each.

Kickoff for the match is set for 7:00 p.m. at Mike Rose Soccer Complex, which has limited seating capacity. All tickets are general admission. Wednesday offers the unique opportunity for pro soccer to be hosted at one of the largest soccer venues in the State of Tennessee.

Proceeds from the match benefit Le Bonheur Children's Hospital Neuroscience Institute through donations to River-City for Itty-Bitties (RIBS) and John Talley's Pediatric Neurological Research Fund.

Both RIBS and John Talley's fund have deep ties to the Memphis soccer community. RIBS' annual adult soccer tournament and 5K benefit causes that are dear to the hearts of Greater Memphis Soccer Association supporters Jason and Jessica Vinson, who lost their infant daughter after a premature birth and whose nine-year old daughter, Kayden battles epilepsy and receives treatment at Le Bonheur.

John Talley was the General Manager of the Mike Rose Soccer Complex, which was started with the goal to provide better fields and better opportunities for children to play soccer in Shelby County. After his death from cancer in 2002, his son, Carey, started a fund at Le Bonheur that has helped raise over $140,000 since its inception.

This third-round Open Cup match will determine who will advance to play, and possibly host, a Major League Soccer (MLS) squad. The MLS enters the tournament in the fourth round.

Memphis made its debut in the second round on May 15, winning 3-1 over New York Red Bulls U-23. The win was the first at AutoZone Park and added to 901 FC's four-match unbeaten streak. That streak was extended last night as Memphis drew with Swope Park Rangers.

First played in 1914, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the most prestigious tournament in this country with pro and amateur teams across the United States competing for a berth in the 2020 CONCACAF Champions League, silverware, and a sizeable cash prize.
