After a series of preseason matches that tested our skills and teamwork, we are ready to face Athletic Wichita with confidence and determination.

Preseason Recap: Building Momentum and Learning Lessons


Our preseason schedule included three matches that gave us valuable experience and insight into our strengths and areas to improve.


  • Woodland (Loss 5-2)

The first preseason game was a tough challenge. Woodland’s quick attacks and solid defense exposed some gaps in our formation. Despite the loss, the match highlighted our resilience and ability to score under pressure. We learned the importance of tighter defensive coordination and quicker transitions.


  • AFC Columbia (Win 3-1)

The second game showed significant improvement. Our midfield controlled the pace, and the forwards capitalized on scoring chances. The 3-1 victory boosted team morale and demonstrated our potential when we execute our game plan effectively.


  • Southside FC (Win 5-2)

The final preseason match was our strongest performance. We displayed sharp passing, aggressive pressing, and clinical finishing. Scoring five goals reflected our offensive capabilities, while the two goals conceded reminded us to maintain focus throughout the match.


These games revealed promising talent and teamwork but also highlighted areas like defensive consistency and stamina that we will continue to work on in training.


Players to Watch on Our Side


As we prepare to face Athletic Wichita, keep an eye on these three standout players who have shown skill and leadership during preseason:


  • Player 1: Kaleb Fannin

Proven as the midfields relentless engine in the preseason Fannin looks to come into game 1 and make an immediate impact through the middle as the offenses driving force. The teams set piece specialist as well proved many times he can deliver a killer ball.


  • Player 2: Alessandro Rubio

A clinical finisher with IQ and agility, capable of breaking through defenses and scoring crucial goals. Scoring 3 from 3 in preseason Sandro's versatility at multiple positions proves his importance to the team.


  • Player 3: Albert Kemeh

Leader on the field, Kemeh was the first to wear an armband for Fountain City Athletic. Speedy quick agile winger that supplies great support defensively. While he may not have put any in the net this preseason his impact has been felt.


While details about Athletic Wichita’s lineup remain limited, we expect a competitive match that will test our team’s preparation and adaptability.
