NWSL
Expansion outfit Denver Summit, led by Nick Cushing and USWNT captain Lindsey Heaps, travel to San Diego Wave on Friday night in the NWSL.
AISan Diego Wave welcome expansion newcomers Denver Summit to town this Friday, with kickoff set for 02:00 UTC on August 15. It's a fascinating clash between NWSL pedigree and fresh ambition.
Denver Summit are one of two new franchises entering the NWSL this season, and they've wasted no time making a statement off the pitch. Former Manchester City boss Nick Cushing takes the reins as the club's inaugural head coach, while USWNT captain Lindsey Heaps has been lured from Lyon to spearhead the project.
San Diego, a well-established force in the league, face a packed schedule in the second half of the campaign. After hosting Denver, they have fixtures lined up against Utah Royals and Racing Louisville.
Denver, meanwhile, head to Portland Thorns following their California trip before returning home to face Chicago Red Stars. Neither side is dealing with fixture congestion heading into this one.
