Gotham FC will begin playing home matches at Etihad Park in Queens, N.Y., in 2028, the club announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The reigning NWSL champions currently play at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, N.J.<\/p>\n

Etihad Park is the new home of MLS club New York City FC, while the New Jersey stadium is home to the New York Red Bulls.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom day one, our ambition has been bigger than championships,\u201d said Carolyn Tisch Blodgett, the governor of Gotham FC. \u201cWe are building one of the world\u2019s most iconic clubs and helping define the future of women\u2019s sports. Our move to Etihad Park reflects that ambition, and we are deeply grateful to New York City FC for their vision and commitment to helping make this historic moment possible.<\/p>\n

Etihad Park, a soccer-specific facility under construction in the Willets Point neighborhood of Queens, will have a capacity of 25,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York State is home to some of the world\u2019s greatest sports teams, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited to officially add the reigning NWSL champion Gotham FC to our ranks,\u201d New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said. \u201cNow residents and visitors alike will be able to experience our premier women\u2019s soccer team right here in New York City at our first-ever soccer specific stadium \u2014 giving players and fans the world-class experience they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gotham FC claimed NWSL championships in 2023 and 2025 and won the NWSL Challenge Cup last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom Sam Kerr\u2019s legendary four-goal comeback to Midge Purce\u2019s championship-clinching heroics, Gotham FC has given us some of the greatest moments in women\u2019s soccer,\u201d New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said. \u201cNow the next electrifying chapter of that story will be written in New York City. Bringing Gotham FC to Queens means that the young girl kicking a ball around Jackson Heights, Jamaica or the South Bronx will be able to take the train and watch some of the best players in the world in her own city. It means more customers for neighborhood restaurants, more visitors filling our hotels and, most importantly, a permanent home for world-class women\u2019s soccer in the greatest city in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
