The Tampa Bay Sun FC is back on the pitch for their second season, ready to defend their history-making Gainbridge Super League championship!
They claimed this title in June, becoming the first professional women’s sports team in Tampa Bay history to lift a championship trophy. The city celebrated with a championship boat parade along the Hillsborough River.
Now, the Sun has two big home matchups on the horizon. On Saturday, September 20, they’ll face Dallas Trinity FC in a playoff rematch, and on October 4, they’ll take on in-state rival Fort Lauderdale United in a repeat of last year’s championship final.
Games are played at Suncoast Credit Union Field at Blake High School in Downtown Tampa, with tickets starting at just $23 and family-friendly fun including great food and pregame activities.
Fan-favorite Jordan Zade, known for her jaw-dropping acrobatic flip throw-ins and community outreach work with the Tampa Bay Sun Foundation, returns to energize the roster. Joining her is Jilly Shimkin, a standout from the Texas Longhorns who’s making her professional debut this season. Shimkin says she was drawn to Tampa Bay by the team’s championship culture and the chance to be part of a growing league that’s expanding opportunities for female athletes.
