Chattanooga Football Club returns to MLS NEXT Pro regular season action after over two weeks off with a scintillating top-of-the-table Southeast Division clash against Inter Miami CF II Saturday at 5 p.m. at Finley Stadium.
The Boys in Blue remain unbeaten in league play and are preparing to face an in-form Inter Miami II side coming off back-to-back victories over Southeast Division rivals Orlando City B (0-2) and Huntsville City FC (2-1).
Taylor Gray leads CFC with two goals and an assist and is the scorer of the club's first-ever goals, both home and away, in MLS NEXT Pro.
"My mentality each game is, 'If I get one chance, just bury it, if I get two chances, bury them.' That first goal I definitely dedicated to my mom.
She came from Maryland to be at the game. Honestly, every goal I score is dedicated to the CFC fans, the support they give me and the confidence I have on the field when I play in front of them."
Forward Mehdi Ouamri has also started to find his stride in the midst of navigating Ramadan and having to be patient for his moment to arrive in Chattanooga.
First Block Party of the Season: The sun is expected to be out on Saturday and there's no better way to enjoy the weather than heading to Finley Stadium early to attend the club's first Block Party of the season, powered by EPB!
