Queens to Host a Soccer‑Specific Landmark
Gotham FC, the National Women’s Soccer League champions, announced that beginning in 2028 the club will call Etihad Park in Queens its home field, marking a pivotal moment in the team’s evolution.
The 2027‑opening venue, billed as New York City’s first soccer‑specific stadium, will sit next to Citi Field in the Willets Point sports corridor and will feature a seven‑story LED gateway called The Cube and a food hall that celebrates the Five Boroughs.
Designed to be the nation’s first all‑electric outdoor sports arena, Etihad Park will operate on renewable energy and will host not only Gotham FC matches but also MLS games, NWSL fixtures, and major international tournaments, including Olympic soccer events scheduled for 2028.
The move follows the club’s recent plans for a new training complex in Whippany, New Jersey, and reflects a broader strategy to embed professional soccer deeply within the city’s cultural and sporting fabric.
Fans can secure season‑ticket deposits starting at $28 for the 2028 season, a price point that underscores the club’s ambition to make top‑level soccer accessible to a wider audience.
