FC Cincinnati Tickets

FC Cincinnati is a professional soccer team that plays in the United Soccer League (USL). The club is still young, having just started playing in 2016. However, they have made waves and have been talked about as a possible expansion franchise for Major League Soccer (MLS) in the future. The club has already faced MLS competition as well, participating in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2017. FC Cincinnati defeated Columbus Crew FC 1-0 and Chicago Fire 3-1 in penalty kicks after a 0-0 draw, before falling to the New York Red Bulls 3-2 in the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup.

FC Cincinnati plays its home matches at Nippert Stadium, which is also home to the Cincinnati Bearkats college football team. The club has set many attendance records in its short lifespan. It owns the record for highest attendance at a soccer match in the state of Ohio, when 35,061 fans showed up to see the club's exhibition match against Crystal Palace on July 16, 2016. It later set the USL playoff record of 30,187 people in attendance against Charleston Batter on October 2, 2016. In each of its three matches against MLS clubs in the U.S. Open Cup in 2017, Nippert Stadium housed over 30,000 fans, which bodes well for the club's future prospects in joining MLS.
