Several sources told The Post that nothing has been finalized.<\/p>\n
Gotham has called Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, N.J., home since 2021. They share the venue with the Red Bulls of MLS.<\/p>\n

NYCFC currently plays some of their matches at each of New York\u2019s MLB stadiums. The new stadium, Etihad Park, which NYCFC owners are funding with $780 million, will be located next to Citi Field and is expected to open before the 2027-28 MLS season.<\/p>\n
But Gotham is considering becoming a fellow tenant of Etihad Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike many clubs, especially in the NWSL as the league rapidly grows, we regularly evaluate options to best support our players, supporters and organization,\u201d Gotham said in a statement. \u201cWe don\u2019t have any updates to share right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Post asked NYCFC COO Jennifer O\u2019Sullivan about the possibility of a women\u2019s team coming to the new stadium in March.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve always had it in our DNA about bringing a women\u2019s team\u2026 We\u2019ve always wanted to do that,\u201d she said. \u201cThe stadium has had to be the first domino to fall for us. We\u2019d always said we\u2019d bring one in when we had the right infrastructure and the right facilities to\u00a0be able to support.\u00a0We\u2019ve kind of been parallel pathing and trying to figure out all the different opportunities and options that are available to us when it comes to a women\u2019s team. We\u2019re still\u00a0looking at\u00a0all of those, but I can guarantee\u00a0you\u00a0that someday\u00a0there will be\u00a0a women\u2019s team\u00a0playing\u00a0in this building, because it\u2019s something we believe in and\u00a0we really want to have.\u00a0And so that\u2019s a guarantee.\u00a0When it will happen, I don\u2019t know,\u00a0but it will definitely happen for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if she\u2019d engaged with Gotham on the issued, she added, \u201cAll opportunities and all options are on the table for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gotham is set to get a preview of what it might be like to play in \u201cThe World\u2019s Borough\u201d this summer when they host Trinity Rodman and the Washington Spirit on July 15 for \u201cThe Queens Classic\u201d at Citi Field. Gotham has already distributed more than 16,000 tickets for the highly anticipated match.<\/p>\n
Gotham, winners of two of the past three NWSL titles, is averaging 7,748 fans per home game this season \u2014 a roughly 12.9 percent decrease from 2025.<\/p>\n
Gotham saw a roughly 38 percent jump in attendance after winning the 2023 championship, averaging 8,589 fans per game. Last season, that number rose slightly to 8,892.<\/p>\n
Gotham hasn\u2019t had the same success this season.<\/p>\n
Late last month, Mayor Zohran Mamdani partnered with Gotham to sell 1,000 tickets to the club\u2019s recent match against Boston Legacy FC for $5 each. The promotion was wildly successful and resulted in a lower-bowl sellout of 11,308 \u2014 the fourth-largest regular-season attendance in franchise history.<\/p>\n
