Episode Notes
Is Gotham FC headed to the city of bright lights?
On this episode of Full Time Focus, host Jillian Sakovits sits down with The Athletic's Melanie Anzidei for a conversation about the reports that 2025 NWSL champions could move into New York City FC's Etihad Park in Queens. The duo chats about what this move could mean for Gotham's aspirations to break into the New York market, what the new stadium looks like and why this is overall a good move if it happens. The pair close the conversation with a discussion about potential changes to the High Impact Player rule in NWSL.
Plus, Washington Spirit head coach Adrián González joins the show to talk about his team's current unbeaten run, the return of Andi Sullivan and, of course, Jose the lucky coyote.
