When the Columbus Eagles play the team’s first match since July of 2019 this weekend, the game may look different than an Eagles Women’s Premier Soccer League or a Columbus Crew Major League Soccer matches. This Saturday, the Eagles start their inaugural season in the Premier Arena Soccer League against the Cincinnati Sirens.
While the players and team name are the same, the game itself is different. It’s still soccer — played with feet, try and score goals — but there are some areas that may take some getting used to.
To help supporters that are new to arena soccer, Massive Report gives you some key differences, what to expect and another color of card for referees.
