Roots & Heritage

Latino Heritage Night is more than a match. It is a recognition of the players, families, and community members whose culture has shaped Capital City Roots FC from day one. The Latin community has been with us since the beginning — on the pitch and in the stands — and this night is for them.

We are taking this match to Mediacom Stadium at Drake University, one of the finest soccer venues in the state, to give this night the stage it deserves. Come early. Bring your family. Bring your flags.

Family Night
Bring the whole family. This is a community event as much as a match — a chance to see what Des Moines soccer is building.

Roots x Menace

The Homegrown Series is a partnership between Capital City Roots FC and the Des Moines Menace built around one idea — growing the game in central Iowa. When two of the top soccer organizations in the state come together, the city wins.

This is a friendly match and tickets are required. Get yours through GoFevo before they are gone. Seating at Mediacom Stadium is limited and this night will sell.
