The Queen’s Classic: What to expect on July 15th
The spectacular stadium that’s home to Major League Baseball will see even more spectacular talent like Rose Lavelle and Trinity Rodman from women’s soccer’s most exciting teams go head to head.
This is a legitimate piece of sports history being made in real time.
This isn’t just any regular-season match. The Washington Spirit and Gotham FC met in the 2025 NWSL Championship Final — and Gotham won. This is the rematch. With the rivalry brewing for many years, the tension will be palpable in the stands!
That storyline alone would be enough. But Gotham FC arrives at this match as defending champions, at home, in front of what’s expected to be the largest crowd ever to watch a women’s sporting event in this city.
The atmosphere in that stadium on July 15th is going to be something else entirely.
The roster you’re watching
Gotham FC has more US Women’s National Team players than any other club in the world. While many eyes will be on the men’s World Cup this summer, don’t forget, this team has a trophy cabinet that’s hard to beat. Gotham’s USWNT stars took home the Olympic gold in 2024 and many won the World Cup a few years before that. The standard from vets like Emily Sonnett and Rose Lavelle, as well as newbies will be stellar.
Rose Lavelle. Emily Sonnett. Tierna Davidson. Jaedyn Shaw.. These aren’t just NWSL-level names — these are the faces of American soccer.
The Washington Spirit are bringing their own star power — Trinity Rodman leads their attack and is one of the most electrifying players in the league. This is a full-strength, high-stakes clash between two rosters that were built to win championships.
