Chattanooga FC Wins First National Championship

Chattanooga FC will celebrate its MLS NEXT Pro Cup victory with a championship parade Friday, Nov. 13, beginning at 4:30 p.m. on the Walnut Street Bridge and ending near the Blue Rhino on Tremont Street. The club’s 1-0 win over LAFC 2 made it the first Chattanooga professional sports team to win a national championship and the first independent club in league history to claim the cup. The final drew a record 10,228 fans to Finley Stadium. Fans are invited to join the parade or line the route; parking near Coolidge Park will be limited because of Renaissance Faire preparations.
