The Washington Spirit’s NWSL Challenge Cup semifinal against OL Reign will be at Audi Field after all. Three days after it emerged that venue conflicts at both Lumen Field in Seattle and at Audi Field — which is hosting the Project Play Summit on May 4 — would result in the match taking place at Segra Field in Leesburg, the NWSL announced today that the game would be played in the District instead.
“I want to thank everyone who worked hard to get this playoff match to Audi Field,” said new NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman in a league press release.
