Chattanooga Football Club’s Luis Trude and Reading United AC’s Bradley Fountain race for the ball Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at Finley Stadium.While yet another run through the U.S. Open Cup looms, the Chattanooga Football Club realizes it still has a league to compete in and a divisional title to fight for.
Which in the long run is far more important.
The 2-0 team will get back to National Premier Soccer League action tonight with a home match against Nashville FC at Finley Stadium at 7:30. Chattanooga FC advanced to the third round of the Open Cup with a 4-1 shootout victory over Reading United AC on Wednesday.
CFC will host the Harrisburg City Islanders in another Cup match on June 1, but the primary concern is the NPSL Southeast Conference.
This also is the CFC Foundation Celebrity Soccer weekend, with national team and Major League Soccer greats Landon Donovan, Brian Ching and Stuart Holden holding a kids clinic at Chattanooga Christian on Friday. There will be a five-kilometer family fun and kiddie walk this morning, followed by a photo opportunity with the MLS players at 10:30 and a raffle at halftime of the CFC match.
