Phoenix Rising opened its preseason camp on Sunday with three players who made the cut in open tryouts a week earlier:

1 Big Opportunity: If any tryout players shine in preseason, they could end up on the regular season roster.

Don’t say it can’t happen: Zac Lubin became the team’s starting goalkeeper in 2019 and 2020 after impressing the coaches during tryouts.

What’s Next: Phoenix Rising’s regular season begins March 11 with a road game against the Charleston Battery in South Carolina.

Their home opener is April 1 against San Diego Loyal SC at the Phoenix Rising FC Soccer Complex at Wild Horse Pass. The team’s new stadium is under construction at 38th and Washington streets near Sky Harbor.

Note: If you can’t make it to the games in person, the Rising just signed a three-year broadcast deal with Arizona’s Family, so you can watch them on TV.
