WPS’ Sky Blue FC to train, play on Okinawa in late March

Soccer fans on Okinawa will get a sort of postscript to last year’s women’s World Cup when Sky Blue FC of Women’s Professional Soccer takes on INAC Kobe Leonessa of Japan’s Plenus Nadeshiko League on March 24 at Comprehensive Park in Awase.

The match, part of a doubleheader featuring tour host FC Ryukyu, is the culmination of a 10-day tour by the two sides, with matches scheduled in Kagoshima and Okinawa.

Prior to the March 24 match, Sky Blue FC will train at Kubasaki’s Mike Petty Stadium, according to an FC Ryukyu news release dated March 6. It’s part of an effort to generate community outreach on base.
