Welcome to your match thread as the Orlando Pride welcome the Washington Spirit to Exploria Stadium (7 p.m., Paramount+). It’s the Pride’s first competitive game this year as they begin the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup.
Here’s what you need to know ahead of the team’s opening game.
History
The Pride are 4-6-4 (W-L-D) against the Spirit dating back to Orlando’s inaugural NWSL season in 2016. The Floridian club has been much more successful at home than on the road, going a combined 3-2-2 at Camping World Stadium and Exploria Stadium.
