Minnesota Aurora FC will open their 12-game pre-professional women’s soccer schedule with two road games before coming home for its TCO Stadium home opener on May 30 against RKC Third Coast.
The team that has gone undefeated in regular season play in both 2022 and 2023 will open its third season on the road at — fittingly enough — Aurora University in the western Chicago suburbs. The Aurora will play the Chicago Dutch City Lions FC on May 23 and River City Light FC on May 25 on the university campus before coming home.
The Aurora again will play its home games at TCO Stadium on the Vikings training campus in Eagan.
Game themes throughout the season will include celebration of Pride, Indigenous People, Minnesota and Women of Inspiration.
The club has won two division titles before losing the USL W League’s championship game in 2022 and the league’s Central Conference championship in 2023.
The final regular-season game is June 29 against RKC Third Coast in Racine, Wis.
The schedule:
May 23 at Chicago Dutch Lions FC, 7 p.m.
