Washington, D.C. (07/21/2025) – As the Washington Spirit prepares to enter the race for the NWSL Championship in the second half of the season, the club is introducing a slate of new fan experiences, enhanced matchday themes, fresh retail offerings, and exclusive ticket promotions to rally fans and celebrate the Spirit community across the DMV. Designed to engage the team’s diverse fan base, strengthen community connections, and build on the excitement around the team’s hunt for the NWSL title, fans can expect an elevated Spirit matchday experience and new ways to support the team.
This midseason momentum will build off a highly successful first half of the season, in which the Spirit saw its season ticket base grow by 71 percent, sold out its home opener in front of a record crowd of 19,254 fans and had three of the top ten crowds in club history at Audi Field. The Spirit tied the record for the best start away from home in NWSL history with five straight wins and currently stands fourth on the NWSL table at 7-4-2. Star Italian forward Sofia Cantore, who has helped lead her team to the semifinals of the Euro 2025, will join the club for the second half of the season. The news of her signing with the Spirit generated significant media buzz, with an estimated total reach of over one billion last month.
To kick off the club’s chase for the 2025 NWSL title, the Spirit officially introduced new Head Coach Adrián González last Thursday at a press conference and hosted an open training with more than 3,000 fans in attendance at George Mason University on Saturday.
“We are kicking off our chase for the 2025 NWSL shield and playoffs with a renewed focus and an elevated commitment to delivering excellence both on and off the pitch” said Kim Stone, CEO of the Washington Spirit. “Spirit fans are our lifeblood and the fuel behind our vibrant gameday experience at Audi Field. To thank them for their dedication and to encourage new fans to attend, we are adding exciting new experiences and offers for everyone.”
