Fayetteville Fury Announce Full NISL Season Schedule

FAYETTEVILLE, NC – Fayetteville Fury is pleased to announce the full schedule of games for its sophomore campaign in the National Indoor Soccer League (NISL) where the men’s team will look to defend their championship title from the inaugural season.

NISL added two expansion teams in the Sunshine State during the off-season, Tampa Bay Strikers and Central Florida Crusaders out of Orlando. The Strikers and Crusaders join the Fury and other returning teams in Memphis (Americans) and Columbus (Rapids).

The Fury will start their season on the road and be the last league team to host their home opener. Scheduled for Saturday, February 18, Fayetteville will battle a familiar foe when the Memphis Americans arrive for a 6:00 p.m. EST first kick for the home doubleheader. Part of a back-to-back, this will be their only home action for the month.

March will be a full month for the Fury with three home contests and four matches on the road. Fayetteville will head to Florida for matches on the home turf of both expansion teams this month. April will start at home with Tampa Bay’s first action in the Crown Complex on Sunday, the 2nd with kickoff set for 2:00 pm EST. The Fury will have two additional home contests during the month and will travel for two road matches. The team will close out the regular season portion of the schedule in Memphis on May 1.
