Forward Madison FC

Breese Stevens Field, home of Forward Madison FC.
Local soccer fans will be forced to choose sides when Forward Madison FC (the city’s USL League One team) takes on the UW-Madison men’s team in an annual tradition dating back to 2019. This will be the sixth meeting between the two teams, and the Flamingos are 2-0-2 against the Badgers (2020’s match was canceled due to the pandemic). The rivalry has become a strong one, especially considering that Forward Madison assistant coach Jim Launder was the former head coach of the Badgers from 1982 to 1996 — and led Wisconsin, in 1995, to its only NCAA soccer championship.
