Match Day Guide: August 18 vs York United FC

Atletico vs York United-Aug-18-Game-Day-IG-post2

Feels so good to be home, again. Were you one of the 12,000 at our Home Opener? What a vibe that was. Hoping that continues Wednesday night with our second home match ever. The Match Day Guide is your one stop shop for the important info you’ll need to know, and maybe access on your phone while here or on your way here. So, for starters, we play York United FC and kickoff is 7pm. GET TICKETS HERE. We haven’t played York this season, so we’ll learn a lot from this meeting – which will come in handy, as we welcome them three more times throughout the year.  Read the full MATCH PREVIEW HERE. There is a quick ceremonial flag raising, which we aim to do at every home game this year. Trying to make it a thing.  As with any Home Match, we encourage you to get here early. The Bytown Boys and Capital City Supporters groups were in full voice at the home opener so feel free to join in and make some noise as well. We’ve heard all the songs and chants they sing are available to learn in an ebook. Reach out and they’ll set you up. And a friendly reminder to please be patient with the TD Place staff. This is the one of the first live events in a very long time, so some dust will need to be shaken off all around.

If you can, and are able, consider riding your bike. Lots of bike parking in and around Lansdowne. Walking is a good option too. If you are taking public transportation, then just know… it’s FREE. Sweet deal, right? You may need to show your ticket on your phone, if asked, but OC Transpo really came through on this one: free transit 3 hours before or after a match. Of course, if you just have to show off that 1993 Honda Accord, on-site parking is available HERE.
