The Chatham County Commission has approved the agreement between Savannah Clovers Football Club and Chatham County Parks and Recreation to continue to host all home soccer matches at Savannah’s Memorial Stadium. Memorial Stadium is synonymous with the Clovers, having played there for the past four seasons as a regional amateur team.

Memorial Stadium, boasting a capacity of 5,000, was renovated in 2018 with over $12m in SPLOSTS Funding. The stadium is situated near Truman Parkway on the Southside of Savannah, with the multisport venue meeting the US Soccer Federation standards for professional soccer.  The Clovers begin play in NISA in March 2023. NISA is a national professional men’s league sanctioned by the US Soccer Federation as Division Three.

“Memorial Stadium is a best-in-class facility and has always been a cornerstone of our plans leading to our jump to professional soccer,” said Brian Sykes, Chief Community Officer. “We strive to create an exceptional atmosphere at Memorial Stadium for our supporters, and we are thrilled to work with Chatham County to highlight this great venue and the City of Savannah on the national stage. We’re thankful for the partnership with the County leadership along with the support of Mayor Van Johnson in bringing professional soccer to Savannah.”

Savannah Clovers FC will be finalizing all ticketing packages in the coming weeks with an announcement coming in conjunction with the release of the 2023 NISA schedule. In the interim, supporters are encouraged to visit the club website at savannahclovers.com and follow the links to pay a deposit to secure a seat ahead of the 2023 season kick-off.
