“This partnership with the Gila River Indian Community allowed us to quickly expand our capacity, improve our fan experience, which is extremely important to our organization, and also allows for long-term exciting things,” said Bobby Dulle, Rising general manager. Phoenix Rising FC players and front-office personnel get their first look at the practice fields at their new training facility at Wild Horse Pass. Team officials said they will try to attract MLS preseason games to the new stadium. The Rising and the Gila River Indian Community will share costs of the as-yet-unnamed 10,000-seat stadium, which is expandable and could accelerate the club’s plan to grow into a Major League Soccer franchise. The Rising reached the 2020 USL championship game but the pandemic forced cancellation of the match. The team sold out 23 consecutive matches before COVID-19, building a rowdy, loyal fanbase in the stands and a winning product on the field. The club played the past four years at 6,200-seat Casino Arizona Field, northeast of the Loop 101/Loop 202 interchange near Scottsdale. The soccer complex will be the first to open, in March, in time for Phoenix Rising FC’s preseason training and May 1 opening of their United Soccer League season.

“The new development plan will create exceptional entertainment and lifestyle experiences, new jobs for community members, and will evolve our culture and legacy,” said David White, Wild Horse Pass Development Authority General Manager. The projects will provide new revenue streams to the Gila River Indian Community and create thousands of jobs at buildout over the next 10 years.
