Overview

Stadium issues and match rescheduling

edit

Brooklyn FC's home opener, initially scheduled for August 31, 2024 against Carolina Ascent FC, was postponed due to issues identified during the installation of the soccer turf at Maimonides Park, which left the field unplayable. On September 19, 2024, Brooklyn FC announced an agreement with Columbia University to host their seven fall home matches in 2024 at Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium in Manhattan.[2] As a result of the venue change, Brooklyn FC adjusted its home schedule.

Fort Lauderdale's home opener, originally scheduled against Dallas Trinity on September 29, 2024, was rescheduled to December 1, 2024 due to 'construction delays'.[3]

DC Power FC rescheduled two of their home games.[4]

Historic goals

edit

The inaugural USL Super League goal was scored by Carolina Ascent's Vicky Bruce in a match against DC Power FC on August 17, 2024. The first brace in league history was recorded by Dallas Trinity's Chioma Ubogagu on September 13, 2024 in a home match against Lexington SC. In the same game, Allie Thornton of Dallas Trinity achieved the league's first hat trick, which was also a perfect hat trick.
