The Washington Spirit will return to Audi Field for the team’s third and final home Friday Night Fútbol match of the season when Racing Louisville FC comes to town this week.

Washington collected a clean sheet and another away point against rival Gotham FC and is looking to get back in the win column this weekend.
Friday night’s theme, DC Cares presented by CareFirst, will aim to promote several important community organizations in southeast DC including club partners Events DC and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington. This will be the Spirit’s second annual theme presented by CareFirst, following last season’s DC Ward Day.

Fans from these groups can enjoy tickets starting at $24 by verifying their status, this offer is available here. Students can also get tickets starting at $21 here. Teachers are able to get discounted tickets starting at $24 here.

Additionally, new fans can take advantage of the Spirit’s “First Match on Us” offer, available here. Experience “Rowdy Audi” and everything a matchday at Audi Field has to offer for free!
