Phoenix Rising FC’s next calendar has a bit.
The club’s game with rival New Mexico United on August 8, originally scheduled for Albuquerque, moved to Arizona Field Casino by the same date at 7:30 p.m., the team announced Monday.
The explanation of why it was given to move the game “the fluid nature of COVID-19 restrictions across the country”. The mandatory 14-day quarantine in the state of New Mexico for all who entered probably played a leading role in the decision.
In addition to the replacement of the headquarters, Rising FC also announced that house games opposite El Paso Locomotive FC (August 1), New Mexico (August 8) and San Diego Loyal SC (August 15) will be played without the presence of enthusiasts, as the case for july home games. This is consistent with last week’s extension through Gov. Doug Ducey’s COVID-19 rules in Arizona, which limits the rally limit to 50 people.
