CFC Offering Free Admission to Active Military and Law Enforcement to Saturday’s Playoff Match
The Chattanooga FC is offering free admission to active military and law enforcement members with proper identification to Saturday’s playoff match with the Miami Fusion. Game time is 7:30pm at Finley Stadium. The club is making the offer in the wake of the tragic shooting on Thursday in Chattanooga that killed four Marines and injured one Chattanooga police officer.
Here’s part of a press release from the CFC:
As Chattanoogans, our hearts are saddened by the violence and loss of life in our city yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of our lost servicemen. While we mourn those lost, we are also grateful for the men and women from the Chattanooga Police Department who put themselves in harm’s way to protect the citizens of our community and country.
In times like this, playing soccer seems so insignificant in the grand scheme of life. But it’s also times like this where we all need to be in community with one another and to lift our hearts. It’s important that we come together as a city to show that we’re united in our determination to resist hatred.
As you probably know, we play in the South Region Semifinal against Miami Fusion FC this Saturday at Finley Stadium at 7:30 PM and the game is still being played as originally scheduled.
We realize there is little our club can do to comfort those who have been affected by the situation. However, we would like to honor those who serve our country and city by offering free admission to the match to any active duty service men/women and law enforcement with proper identification.
