The NASL has postponed the Jacksonville Armada FC-Indy Eleven match that was scheduled to be played at Community First Park in Jacksonville on Saturday night because of the impending weather concerns caused by Hurricane Matthew, the league office announced Wednesday.

“After analyzing the information provided by the National Hurricane Center and speaking with our clubs, we have decided to postpone this weekend’s match in Jacksonville,” NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson said. “At the end of the day, the safety of our stakeholders – players, coaches, staff, and fans – is our top priority.”

League and club officials are tracking weather projections and awaiting further developments before finalizing a revised date for the match.

“We would like to thank everyone involved, particularly Indy’s ownership and staff, for their understanding and support as we work through this situation,” Jacksonville Armada FC Owner and NASL Chairman Mark Frisch said. “At this time, what’s most important is focusing on everyone’s safety. We’ll return to the field when conditions permit, and you can expect an announcement from us on the rescheduling of this match soon.”
