OTTAWA-GATINEAU - When Ottawa Fury FC host FC Cincinnati in their regular season home finale on Fan Appreciation Day this Sunday, the club will set a new attendance record breaking the 100,000 mark for the first time in club history. Surpassing the 99,942 figure reached in 2016, the club will celebrate with their supporters on Fan Appreciation Day which includes some major prizing.



"Rain or shine, freezing cold or scorching heat our fans always get behind us and did they ever make a difference this season," said Fury FC President and OSEG Partner John Pugh. "From the comeback win against Toronto FC in the Canadian Championship semis to the number of late winners and equalizers we had at home - we can't say enough about the support we get at TD Place."



"I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the growing number of young fans we see at every game - we love it! A huge kudos to all of the clubs across our region that help foster the love of the game for these young players through our Fury Fanatics Program - we can't wait to see one of these youngsters playing for their hometown club in the future."



To honour the attendance achievements, the 100,000th fan will receive a pair of 2018 Ottawa Fury FC Season Tickets ... but it doesn't stop there. One of the best giveaways on Fan Appreciation Day is a winning the players' jerseys at the conclusion of Sunday's game. A $500 Lansdowne shopping spree will also be given away and all Fury FC merchandise at the Team Store is 20% off (30% off for Season Ticket Holders).



Tickets for Sunday's Fan Appreciation match are available at OttawaFuryFC.com/Tickets, by calling 613.232.6767 X1 or in person at The Box Office at TD Place. - 30 - Media Contact:
