Gotham move to Icahn amid ‘atrocious’ pitch conditions
The Washington Spirit will play their NWSL semi-final at Audi Field after the club reached a deal to avoid playing a playoff game at Northwest Stadium, home of the NFL’s Washington Commanders. Top-seeded Gotham FC, meanwhile, will play their game at the 5,000-seat Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island in New York City because of poor pitch quality at Sports Illustrated Stadium, their usual home.
The Spirit will play their semi-final against the Utah Royals on 14 November (Saturday) at noon, while Gotham FC will host the Kansas City Current on Sunday at 3pm.
