Exciting End to the Regular Season Awaits
October 5, 2022 – United Soccer League Championship (USL) – Oakland Roots News Release
After picking up the huge win in the home season finale Oakland Roots now sit in a playoff spot with two games to play. The first of those two comes this Saturday away in Connecticut as Roots take on Hartford Athletic, a team from the East who are already eliminated from the playoffs. A win and three points would go a long way in seeing Roots qualify for the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
Oakland Roots Sports Club announced a collaboration with the Black Liberation Walking Tour (BLWT) for the final Roots game of the 2022 season on October 15th. The BLWT is a community-led cultural asset map celebrating the multi-generational Black history and culture of the Town. A special BLWT tour will lead into a ‘March to the Match’ ending at a watch party at Athletic Club Oakland as Roots take on the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. The special tour will leave from Oakland’s California Hotel at 12:30 PM with the March to the Match ending at Athletic Club Oakland in downtown for a 4:00 PM PT kick off.
The BLWT and March to the watch party are also happening as part of Oakland Roots and WOCAN’s celebration of California Clean Air Day. CA Clean Air Day takes place on October 5th and the tour and march on October 15th is just one way to enjoy the beautiful city of Oakland, it’s people and its history while also sparing the air on foot for the day.
