PHOENIX (February 19, 2019) — Phoenix Rising FC has added an additional non-gated friendly to its preseason schedule, a matchup with New York Red Bulls on Wednesday at 3 p.m. at the Kino Sports Complex North Stadium in Tucson, Ariz. This is in addition to the club’s already scheduled friendly with MLS side Portland Timbers at 6 p.m. at the Kino Sports Complex North Stadium.

Both matches will be streamed and the club will share stream links via social media prior to the match.

Rising FC comes off a friendly against MLS side Real Salt Lake, a 4-1 loss at the Phoenix Rising Soccer Complex. In that match, forward Adam Jahn notched his first goal of 2019 and recent FC Cincinnati loanee Logan Gdula made his Rising FC debut.

This will be the third time Phoenix Rising plays New York Red Bulls (all three preseason friendlies). Each team has a win in the series, with Red Bulls winning the last matchup on February 10th, 4-1. Rising FC will be playing Portland Timbers for the first time in club history.
