Announce Full NISL Inaugural Season Schedule 

 

TAMPA, FL – The Tampa Bay Strikers are pleased to announce the team’s inaugural season schedule of games for competition in the National Indoor Soccer League (NISL). 

 

Joining NISL as it enters its second year in action, the Strikers are one of two expansion teams, along with the Central Florida Crusaders out of Orlando. The Strikers and Crusaders join returning teams in Memphis (Americans), Fayetteville (Fury) and Columbus, GA (Rapids). 

 

NISL features both a Men's and Women's Division of professional indoor soccer. Strikers game days will feature doubleheaders with home matches taking place at Tampa’s Yuengling Center. A single ticket will allow fans to enjoy both competitions. 

 

Tampa Bay can enjoy its first local opportunity to take in NISL action when the Strikers welcome the Columbus Rapids on Sunday, January 29. The first kick of Match 1 is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. EST. The following weekend, they will meet the Memphis Americans on the pitch for the first time. That doubleheader will take place on Saturday, February 4, kicking off at 6:00 p.m. EST. 

 

The team will travel for one away contest in the middle of February before returning for two more home contests to close out the month. In March, the team will primarily be on the road with three matches away from home. Their single home match of the month will be the first time Fayetteville will compete at Yuengling Center, scheduled for Friday, March 24 at 7:00 p.m. EST. April will be a heavy month of competition with three road contests and three matches at home.
