New England Revolution Host 'Salute to Heroes' Night On July 4 Weekend

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The New England Revolution will host FC Cincinnati this holiday weekend in their annual "Salute to Heroes" match.

"The New England Revolution will honor members of the military, local police and fire personnel, and first responders, active and retired, for their service and dedication in keeping our communities safe," the team said in a news release.

According to the team, Revolution players "will wear limited edition American Flag-themed numbers. The game-issued jerseys will be auctioned after the match, with proceeds benefitting USO New England, a non-profit organization that strives to strengthen America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation."

Gillette Stadium is set to host a fireworks display following the game. Tickets for the match, slated for 7:30 p.m. are available at the link here.

Children of military families will make up a "dream team" while escorting both team's players onto the field prior to the match.

Prior to the match, the team will be collecting "new and gently used soccer equipment to benefit the United Heroes League," the team announced.

Revolution players are already in the July 4 spirit. On Thursday, players Jozy Altidore, Ryan Spaulding, and Ben Reveno visited Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts, where they teamed up with coaches to host a soccer clinic for families on the base.
