Minnesota United FC to Appear at Woodbury Community Soccer Day

Officials from Minnesota United FC, which recently announced plans to partner with the city for a training facility at the Bielenberg Sports Center, will be on hand Tuesday, Oct. 1, for Woodbury Community Soccer Day.

Woodbury Community Soccer Day takes place each year during the Woodbury vs. East Ridge boys and girls soccer games.

This year the games will be at Woodbury High School; the boys game is at 5 p.m. and the girls play at 7 p.m.

While the Woodbury Soccer Club sponsors Woodbury Community Soccer Day, it is “an opportunity for Woodbury Area players from all clubs to celebrate youth soccer and proudly wear their team colors,” according to a release. “Players who wear their respective team uniforms to the games will get into the game for free.”

Woodbury Community Soccer Day was started as a way to recognize the number of youngsters who play soccer in the community. Mayor Mary Giuliani Stephens is expected to attend, along with Nick Rogers, president of MN United FC, and Peter Rivard, Woodbury Soccer Club director of coaching.
