San Diego Wave FC announced Friday that due to poor field conditions at Snapdragon Stadium, their match this weekend against Racing Louisville FC will be played in Louisville, Ky.
“The safety and well-being of all players is our top priority, and the current field conditions at Snapdragon Stadium, which are the responsibility of a third party, have not met the standards required for a safe playing environment,” the club’s statement said. “A thorough review of the field was conducted and all alternative options within Southern California were exhausted; however, the league ultimately determined that moving the game to Louisville was the best solution.”
The match, set for 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, will now take place at Lynn Family Stadium. Racing announced ticket sales for the relocated match Friday, and due to the short notice, decided to make it general admission. The match will still air on ESPN.
