Brooklyn, get ready to show your pride!
On Saturday, November 7, the Brooklyn FC Women host Carolina Ascent FC for a special LOVE WINS match in celebration of the borough’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community! Kickoff is at 2:00 PM and the gates open at 12:30 PM.
Love Wins is designed to honor and uplift Brooklyn’s LGBTQ+ community, another example of our club’s vision to champion the borough and its diverse community.

QUEER SPORTS SOCIAL, W/ Footy With Friends
The party gets started with the Queer Sports Social, hosted by Brooklyn FC and Footy With Friends, a sapphic soccer community that hosts leagues and community meetups in Brooklyn and other parts of NYC. The Queer Sports Social brings together LGBTQ+ sports leagues, community groups, and allies from across Brooklyn to mingle, network, and enjoy the match in a fun and safe environment for all.

CEREMONIAL FIRST GOAL
To set the tone before the whistle blows, we will welcome Footy with Friends founder DK Danyko to the pitch to score the ceremonial first goal of the afternoon.
“PLay where the pros play” HALFTIME SHOWCASE
