The Washington Spirit plays its home matches at Maryland SoccerPlex in the outer reaches of Montgomery County, a distant location for city dwellers and those reliant on public transportation. But for one game this summer, the National Women’s Soccer League team will call Washington its home.
And if all goes well, the Spirit might feel encouraged to play more often at Audi Field in the future.
Washington has signed a contract to play at D.C. United’s 20,000-capacity venue Aug. 25 against the defending champion Portland Thorns. The complex is scheduled to open July 14.
