Gotham FC Looks to Build on Strong Start in Concacaf W Champions Cup
SANTA TECLA, El Salvador (Sept. 1, 2025) - Fresh off a victory over reigning NWSL champion Orlando Pride on Friday, Gotham FC shifts its focus back to the Concacaf W Champions Cup, aiming to secure a second consecutive group-stage win when it faces Alianza on Tuesday.
Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET, with broadcast coverage available on Paramount+.
The match marks Gotham’s second appearance in the 2025-26 edition of the tournament. In its opener on Aug. 20, Gotham earned a 2-1 win over CF Monterrey. Defender Bruninha opened the scoring, while forward Khyah Harper netted the game-winner in the 24th minute.
