After a tough end to the 2022 season, Forward Madison was obliged to make a change. The Flamingos will display a significantly new look heading into the 2023 campaign. Twenty-one players from last season’s 25-man squad have departed, 14 of which have found new clubs, while the seven others are currently free agents.
Only four players are returning for the 2023 season, and there are no longer any players left from the 2020 squad. With the multitude of players departing in the offseason, Forward Madison brought in 16 new signings to Breese Stevens Field.
Forward Madison opened their USL1 season against Union Omaha at Caniglia Field March 26, drawing 1-1.
