HARRISON, NJ (Thursday, September 5, 2024) – NJ/NY Gotham FC today announced that the club will host Women’s Empowerment Night presented by CarMax on Sunday, September 8 for the Gotham FC vs. the Houston Dash match at Red Bull Arena.

On-field pregame festivities will feature Ari Chambers lighting the Gotham FC Torch.
