Supporters came out in full force to celebrate the club’s return to postseason play, with all FC Tulsa players in attendance for autographs, selfies, and plenty of high-fives. Fans got a sneak peek at the official Playoff Rally Towel and grabbed one of the limited-edition 1983-inspired tees that celebrate Tulsa’s proud soccer legacy.
The atmosphere was electric and featured live music, cold drinks, delicious food, and a full crowd of smiling supporters ready to make history. Not even the cold, drizzly weather could dampen the spirits.!
The costume contest was a highlight of the night, featuring creative fan favorites like Punky Brewster, Mario, the FC Tulsa Cow, #1 Fan, even Head Coach Luke Spencer himself, and more!
Speeches from FC Tulsa Co-Owner and President Ryan Craft, Head Coach Luke Spencer, Technical Director and General Manager Caleb Sewell, and goalkeeper Johan Peñaranda were given to pump up the crowd, and to show the fans appreciation as they recognized the incredible history making season so far.
The supporters group, 83 United, had their President, Steve Hitz, rallied the crowd with a series of chants to ensure those in attendance were hyped heading into this weekend’s Quarterfinal match.
