NEW YORK (Aug. 3, 2015) – The National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) announced today that New York Cosmos B will face Chattanooga FC in the NPSL National Championship game at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The match will take place on Saturday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m. ET (fans will also be able to watch a live stream of the game on nycosmos.com).

“We felt that having the match in Chattanooga was best for the league,” NPSL Chairman Joe Barone commented. “It will provide us with the maximum exposure. We wish both teams the best of luck as we all look forward to this weekend.”

Chattanooga FC recently broke the league’s attendance record on Aug. 1 with 9,236 in attendance at Finley Stadium for their 3-0 win over the Indiana Fire.  This broke the league’s previous record of 8,878, which was also held by Chattanooga FC.  

“We’re happy to support this decision. The NPSL final will be a great showcase for the NPSL in front of what we expect to be a record-setting crowd,” said Cosmos Chief Operating Officer Erik Stover. “Cosmos B is pivotal for us in developing young talent for our first team and this will be a great test for our guys.”

Cosmos B is in its first year of existence and defeated CD Aguiluchos USA 5-2 on Aug. 1 in the NPSL national championship semifinals to advance to the final. Cosmos B won the regular season Northeast Regional Title with an undefeated record going 11-0-1 (W-L-T) in 12 games.
