The club's fourth and final preseason tune-up sees us move across Corry Boulevard and back into our normal digs at Nippert Stadium when USL Western Conference power Sacramento Republic FC make their first trip to Cincinnati for a 4:00pm kickoff on Saturday, March 10th. Proceeds from ticket sales through our website will benefit the FC Cincinnati Community Fund, which will be officially launched later this year.

Additionally, the match against the Republic -- a return leg after FCC made the trip to California's capital last preseason -- will feature loads of perks for supporters in attendance.
Pregame there will be family-friendly activities such as face painting and having the opportunity to experience warmups from on the field, behind the goal on the south end of Nippert Stadium. After the final whistle, there will also be on-pitch kickarounds and an extended autograph session with the entire 2018 squad. The match will also be the first time you can see FC Cincinnati sporting their brand new, hooped home kits.
There will also be reduced, $5 parking available for all three preseason matches taking place at UC.
So make sure you're there to root for Cincinnati's professional soccer club and pick up your preseason tickets today!
