CFC players celebrate their second goal during Chattanooga FC's national semifinal match against the Indiana Fire at Finley Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 1, 2015, in Chattanooga.

The Chattanooga Football Club announced today that Finley Stadium will be the site of Saturday's NPSL championship match against the New York Cosmos B club.

Moments after claiming a 3-0 win over the Indiana Fire, the organization started the process of working with the Cosmos to host the event. CFC drew 9,236 fans to their semifinal win over the Fire, but it wasn't their right to host since the Cosmos were the higher seed.

The match will be held at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $10 and available online at www.chattanoogafc.com. Game-day tickets will be $12 at the gate. Children 5 and under are admitted free.
