Monterey Bay Football Club (Monterey Bay F.C.) announces today that the club will celebrate Pride Night at Cardinale Stadium on Saturday, June 25 at 7:00 p.m. PT when Sacramento Republic FC comes to town for a match with the Union. Local pride organizations Monterey Peninsula Pride and Salinas Valley Pride will be in attendance and have a presence throughout the match.
“Events like MBFC’s Pride Night are incredibly important to our community,” said Eric Mora, President of Salinas Valley Pride. “We appreciate that our friends at Monterey Bay F.C. share our values of inclusion and that the team is committed to creating an environment where fans can come together and enjoy a game, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender expression.”
Monterey Bay F.C. players will wear Pride warm-up tops which will be signed after the match and auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting local LGBTQ+ organizations, and special edition Union Pride merchandise will be available in the team shop as well. In addition, the first 1,000 fans who enter the stadium will receive a commemorative Union Pride bracelet
“We are so thankful for MBFC’s Pride Night and them using this time to stand as an ally for our community as we continue the fight for justice, because LGBTQ+ rights go beyond marriage equality,” said Tyller Williamson, Co-Chair of Monterey Peninsula Pride. “Monterey Peninsula Pride is excited to watch Monterey Bay F.C. kicking and running and looking stunning!”
