by Natalie Viel

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OMAHA, NE – Omaha’s professional indoor soccer teams, the Omaha Queens and Omaha Kings, are set to close out their home season with a bang on Saturday, April 5th, at Baxter Arena during Fan Appreciation Night—a doubleheader event packed with high-energy matchups, prizes, player meet-and-greets, and community impact.

The Omaha Queens will kick off the evening at 4:00 PM with an exciting intra-squad exhibition match, featuring a high-energy showdown between Team Black and Team Pink. This change follows a late cancellation from the previously scheduled opponent, the Iowa Demon Hawks. While we were disappointed by the unexpected shift, we’re proud to keep the momentum going by showcasing our Queens talent in a competitive and entertaining matchup.

Following the Queens, the Omaha Kings will take the field at 7:00 PM for their regular season finale against Summit City. One ticket grants fans access to both games with general admission seating for just $22.
