El Paso Locomotive FC announces sell-out for home opener
El Paso Locomotive FC, El Paso’s new pro soccer team, announced Thursday that their inaugural match is officially sold out.
The club will play its first match at Southwest University Park at 7:35 p.m. Saturday against Oklahoma Energy FC.
For those who were unable to secure tickets before the match, it will be airing on the El Paso-Las Cruces CW Saturday night.
The CW is available to everyone in the El Paso/Las Cruces region on 7.2 over the air. Viewers can also watch the game on Spectrum channel 13, Comcast Cable channel 388, Direct TV and Dish Network on channels 8 and 17, respectively, and on AT&T U-verse channel 19.
“Selling out Southwest University Park is nothing short of amazing, but not at all unexpected,” said General Manager, Business Operations Andrew Forrest. “We knew that when professional soccer was launched in this market that it would be a smashing success, and the community has responded beautifully and proven us right. This match will be remembered forever in El Paso history, and the people of this city are what made this sell out happen!”
ABC-7 will also be providing live coverage of pre-game and post-game festivities during the 5 o’clock and 10 o’clock newscasts Saturday evening.
