'

Phoenix Rising FC is one of the top American soccer clubs in the state of Arizona. Originally known as Arizona United, the club was founded in 2014 as a member of the

USL Championship

. In the official US soccer hierarchy, USL ranks as the Division II Professional League behind Division I MLS. The name of the club was changed to Phoenix Rising as part of a general rebrand in 2016. The club quickly climbed to the top of the USL standings in only a few years. In its best ever finish, the club reached the 2018 USL Championship game, losing to

Louisville City FC

in a close 1-0 battle. The game remained scoreless until a goal by Luke Spencer in the 62nd minute clinched the victory. Phoenix Rising FC has become an important brand in American soccer. It owns nearby

FC Tucson

from the lower division USL League One. If you want to experience an exciting match of soccer, then you should purchase Phoenix Rising FC tickets at StubHub.
