PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns FC today announced their rosters for the Green is Gold Charity Match, a mixed-teams scrimmage to benefit the environment, set to kickoff at 7 p.m. (Pacific) Wednesday, June 26, at Providence Park.

Timbers defender Eric Miller and Thorns FC defender Gabby Provenzano Co-Captained Team Gold, selecting Evander, Sophia Smith and Jonathan Rodríguez among others.

The Team Selection Event, hosted by KGW's Orlando Sanchez, was livestreamed Wednesday afternoon on Timbers.com and is available to be replayed HERE. Done in a snake draft format, each side alternated picks between Timbers and Thorns FC players.
