TUCSON, Ariz. — FC Tucson’s home match against Ventura County Fusion on Saturday, June 20, has been selected as the USL League Two Game of the Week, highlighting one of the premier rivalries in the Western Conference.
With 144 clubs competing across USL League Two, the matchup between FC Tucson and Ventura County Fusion was chosen to be featured nationally as both clubs continue to establish themselves as perennial postseason contenders and one of the league’s most prominent rivalries.
The two sides split their meetings in 2025, with Ventura County claiming a victory over FC Tucson in the USL League Two Round of 16. Entering the June 20 contest, FC Tucson sits on nine points through six league matches and will put one of the league’s strongest recent home records on the line. The club has not lost at Kino North Stadium in more than two years, posting a remarkable 12-0-3 record over its last 15 home matches.
Youth Night Celebration
The nationally featured match will also serve as Youth Night presented by Rancho Sahuarita.

In addition, FC Tucson will feature two unique halftime activations.
For the second consecutive year, FC Tucson will host a Plush Toy Toss benefiting Banner – Diamond Children’s Medical Center.
