With both NCFC and NC Courage matches scheduled for the evening of Saturday, August 13th at 7 PM and 8 PM respectively, NCFC has worked together with CV Fuego FC and the USL to move the originally scheduled NCFC match from 7 PM to 5 PM. With that change, both matches are now part of a Doubleheader event in which ticketholders for each match are invited to enjoy both matches for the price of one!
NCFC ticketholders are welcome to stay after the NCFC match scheduled at 5 PM to attend the Courage match at 8 PM at no additional charge, and NC Courage ticketholders are welcome to arrive early to enjoy the NCFC match at no additional charge.
Providing this equal opportunity for fans and ticket holders of each team/match and executing a Doubleheader operationally with ticketholders for separate matches does create some logistical challenges.
