Ali Krieger Sports Complex Opens at SunCal's Potomac Shores Community in Northern Virginia

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Saturday, June 9, to officially open the 30-acre Ali Krieger Sports Complex at the Potomac Shores master-planned community being developed by SunCal south of Washington, D.C. Internationally renowned U.S. soccer star and namesake Ali Krieger was joined for the festivities by a crowd of nearly 200 persons that included local officials, fans and scores of youngsters from area soccer squads.

The multimillion-dollar sports complex, which will be donated to Prince William County, was built by SunCal at its own expense. Phase 1 includes two artificial turf soccer fields with lights, two Bermuda grass soccer fields and one softball field; a concessions building with comfort facilities; and a children's playground. Phase 2 is anticipated to open in fall 2019 and will include two additional grass soccer/lacrosse fields and one baseball field. When completed, a total of eight public sports fields will accommodate baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse and more.

"We've had a great working relationship with Prince William County in a public-private partnership to make this sports complex a reality," said Andrew Wagner, Project Manager for Potomac Shores. "This is a first-class athletic facility that Potomac Shores residents can enjoy, but beyond that, everyone in the county can utilize these public sports fields."

"We have been collaborating with SunCal on the plans for a few years, and to now see this sports complex up and running is very exciting," said Maureen Caddigan, Prince William County Supervisor. "SunCal is the most generous developer that I know and have ever worked with in my years on this board. They have funded the lights, bathroom facilities, snack bar, fields and turf; so much that we can't thank them enough. The community is very grateful that they came to the Potomac District."

After taking part in the ribbon-cutting, Ali Krieger met many of the aspiring soccer-playing youngsters who hope to one day follow in her footsteps. Krieger was on the U.S. Women's Soccer National Team and currently plays on the Orlando Pride in the National Women's Soccer League. She was on the winning World Cup Women's Team in 2015, her second World Cup. Born in Virginia, she grew up in Prince William County and attended local schools.
