Sky Blue FC to Host Soccer Celebration on Sunday

Soccer fans will be able to watch the US take on Japan in Sunday's FIFA Women's World Cup finals at 2:45 p.m. in the Yurcak Field parking lot in Piscataway, hosted by Sky Blue FC, a New Jersey franchise soccer league.

Following the game, which will be televised on a big screen, Sky Blue FC is scheduled to take on the Western New York Flash in a 6 p.m. game that will be nationally televised by ESPN, according to a release from the league.

Sky Blue's own Heather O'Reilly and Tobin Heath currently play for the US Women's Soccer team, as does Point Pleasant native Christie Rampone.

According to the league, a fundraiser for PUMA’s Project Pink will also be held, with proceeds benefiting Susan B. Komen for the Cure. Fans will be able to place bids on pink game jerseys worn by the players on Sunday.

Tickets for the 6 p.m. game start at $15, and admission to the viewing is free, except for a $5 parking fee, according to John Archibald, spokesperson for Sky Blue FC.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 888-SBFC-TIX.
