WHAT HAPPENED?
Fort Lauderdale United FC's home opener has been postponed, the USL Super League announced.
According to the league, FTL United Stadium at Nova Southeastern University is experiencing "construction delays."
FTL United was slated to play Dallas Trinity on Sunday, however the match has been rescheduled for Dec. 1.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
FTL United are now the second club in the USL Super League's inaugural season to have their home game postponed. Earlier this month, Brooklyn FC had to postpone their home opener due to the field being unfit to play. They have recently found a new stadium to play their home games.
FTL United sits in second place overall in the league standings, fresh off a two-game win streak.
WHAT THE CLUB IS SAYING
“We are committed to delivering an exceptional matchday experience for our fans. While ensuring our new stadium meets the highest standards, we’ve encountered a delay in the final stages of construction. As a result, we will be rescheduling our upcoming home game against Dallas Trinity FC to Dec. 1," Tommy Smith, FTL United CEO, said.
"Our home opener will now be Sunday, Oct. 6 vs. Brooklyn FC. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to welcome you to a world-class environment that truly reflects our commitment to excellence."
WHAT'S NEXT?
FTL United wraps up their play in September, and will next play on Oct. 6 vs. Brooklyn FC.
