Following a comprehensive assessment, Greenville Triumph announced that the anticipated opening match at GE Vernova Park at BridgeWay Station will take place on Wednesday, June 3, rather than the previously announced May 9 date.
Officials said back-to-back winter storms in late January and early February created significant challenges across the project.
While the overall construction timeline has remained on schedule, as project schedules in the construction industry typically account for standard weather-related delays, the storms did impact the timeline for the operational outfitting of the stadium, affecting certain readiness components, the officials said.
After a thorough assessment with the construction team, club leadership determined that adjusting the stadium opener would ensure fans have the best possible debut while upholding quality and safety standards.
"Once our team fully assessed the impact of the winter storms on our operational readiness, it became clear that moving our stadium opener to June 3 was the right decision," said Zach Prince, general manager of Greenville Triumph.
The team will play its March home matches as scheduled at Furman University's Eugene Stone Soccer Stadium, followed by road games in April.
The venue for the May 9 home match will be announced at a later date.
The May 15 home match has been rescheduled to June 10 at GE Vernova Park. Season ticket pricing remains unchanged, and updated schedule details are available at www.greenvilletriumph.com.
The Triumph will provide regular construction milestone updates throughout the spring, including turf installation, scoreboard installation, and other key developments. These moments will be captured and shared across the club's social media channels.
The June 3 opening falls during the week leading up to the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 11. The Triumph is planning special World Cup-themed celebrations around the stadium debut and subsequent home matches.
