Vermont Green FC regularly sells out games played at Virtue Field in Burlington, and the team currently sits in third place with a record of five wins, one loss, and two draws. The club also distinguishes itself with a mission dedicated to environmental justice— they donate one percent of the club's annual revenues to approved environmental partners— and to a goal of becoming a net zero soccer club.
And they’re not done innovating. This Saturday will mark a first for the Green as they field an all-women’s team in an exhibition match on their home pitch. It’s a prelude to exploring the potential expansion of the club to include a full-season women’s team in Vermont.
Today's show had two guests integral to the upcoming match: Patrick Infurna, a co-founder of Vermont Green FC, and Sam Mewis, whose many achievements include being a World Cup Champion. She’ll be coaching the women’s game on Saturday.
