The United Soccer League (USL) Championship has officially unveiled Monterey Bay F.C.’s inaugural 2022 regular season schedule, which includes 17 home matches at the newly-renovated, Cardinale Stadium.
Sporting Director and Head Coach, Frank Yallop, will open the season with a seven-game road trip that kicks off on Saturday, March 12 against one of his former clubs, Phoenix Rising FC.
“I’m really excited to be opening up our inaugural season against one of my former teams, Phoenix Rising,” said Yallop. “That game will be a big test for our club. Playing seven games away in a row, to start our inaugural season, is not going to be easy. But I’m really looking forward to working with my players and seeing the results we can achieve in each of those games.”
Monterey Bay F.C. will play its full 34 matches in the USL Championship’s Western Conference along with in-state rivals LA Galaxy II, Oakland Roots, Sacramento Republic, San Diego Loyal, and Orange County SC. Monterey Bay F.C. will play each team in the Western Conference twice, once at home and once away, with eight out-of-conference matches throughout the regular season.
Monterey Bay F.C. will host their inaugural home match on Saturday, May 7 against Las Vegas Lights FC. The club’s first-ever signee, Walmer Martinez, will make his debut as he returns to the campus of California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) where he finished his successful collegiate career in 2019.
“May 7th is a date I’m so looking forward to,” said Yallop, “it’s our home opener, in front of our fans, at our house. I can’t wait to get going!”
Additionally, the club plans launch league-wide initiatives throughout the season, such as: Community Heroes (May); Pride (LGBTQ+) (June); Health & Wellness (August); Hispanic Heritage (September); Cancer Awareness (October) and Fan Appreciation Night on October 1, the club’s last home match of the season.
