How The Rowdies Got Here Tampa Bay advanced to the Fourth Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 1-0 win over the USL’s FC Cincinnati at home on June 1, denying the possibility of an all-Ohio matchup. Bulgarian forward Georgi Hristov scored the lone goal of the match in the 11th minute off a long ball over the top from defender Neill Collins and the Rowdies kept their fifth clean sheet in 11 competitive matches in 2016.

Tampa Bay’s win over FC Cincinnati was its first in the Open cup since 2013, when the Rowdies defeated VSI Tampa Bay FC (USL) and the Seattle Sounders (MLS) before falling to the Portland Timbers (MLS) on the road in the Round of 16. That cup run stands at Tampa Bay’s best in club history. The Rowdies were eliminated by USL opposition in 2014 (Orlando City) and 2015 (Pittsburgh Riverhounds.)

Hristov leads Rowdies with four goals in Open Cup history, three of which came in 2013.

Scouting Tampa Bay The Rowdies finished the NASL Spring Season two points off the championship pace set by the Indy Eleven and runners-up New York Cosmos. Tampa Bay ended the Spring on a three-match unbeaten run in the league, four matches in all competitions.

Hristov is the team’s leading scorer in league play with three goals in 546 minutes of play, just ahead of Tommy Heinemann’s two goals. Joe Cole and Kalif Alhassan share the team lead in assists with three each.

Connecting the Squads Two Rowdies have played for Columbus previously, forward Tommy Heinemann and defender Ben Sweat. Heinemann made 31 appearances for the Crew from 2011 to 2012, scoring three goals. Sweat was selected by the Crew with the No. 14 pick in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft. He made no MLS appearances for the Crew, but did play one Open Cup match.

Up Next The Rowdies are in the midseason break from league play and do not play again until July 2 at home against Jacksonville. With a win over Columbus, the Rowdies’ next match would actually be their fifth round Open Cup match on June 29.

Tampa Bay Rowdies Match Notes About the Rowdies

The Tampa Bay Rowdies are a professional soccer club and a member of the North American Soccer League (NASL). The Rowdies home stadium is Al Lang Stadium in downtown St. Petersburg, Fl. The Rowdies were reborn in 2010 and quickly reestablished themselves as a premier club in the United States, winning the NASL Soccer Bowl Championship in 2012. The Rowdies attracted a sellout crowd to their first home game in May 2010, and have continued to boast strong local fan support. The Rowdies announced the creation of Rowdies 2, their National Premier Soccer League team, on December 23, 2015. Rowdies 2 will begin play in May of this year. The original Tampa Bay Rowdies were born in 1975 as an expansion team in the North American Soccer League (NASL). From 1975-1984, the Rowdies were one of the most successful teams in the NASL, winning the Soccer Bowl Championship in 1975 and reaching the finals in 1978 and 1979. The Rowdies featured iconic players such as Rodney Marsh, Derek Smethurst, and Steve Wegerle while winning over the hearts of the people of Tampa Bay and creating an internationally recognized brand.

North American Soccer League (NASL) The new North American Soccer League (NASL) was officially founded in November 2009 when a group of second-division men's professional soccer team owners banded together to form North American Soccer League, LLC for the purpose of creating a team-owned-and-operated professional soccer league in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. In February 2011, the NASL received provisional recognition from the United States Soccer Federation as the exclusive second division men’s professional league (D-2) and the inaugural season kicked off on the evening of April 9, 2011. The 2016 format continues the split season format and The Championship, a four-team postseason tournament. The winners of the Spring and Fall Seasons will earn berths in The Championship and be joined by the next two best teams in the Combined table. The NASL member teams are: Carolina RailHawks, FC Edmonton, Fort Lauderdale Strikers, Indy Eleven, Jacksonville Armada FC, Miami FC, Minnesota United FC, New York Cosmos, Ottawa Fury FC, Puerto Rico FC, Rayo OKC and the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Over the years, several other Major League Baseball teams, including the Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets, New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, have used the stadium as their headquarters for spring training. The St. Petersburg Athletic Park at the current site of Al Lang Stadium was the spring home for the Boston Braves and New York Yankees from 1923 until after World War II, hosting such greats such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Stan Musial. The first incarnation of the current field was built for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1947.
