🎥 The Final Last weekend’s USL League Two final was more than the final match of the 2025 season, it was also the final time some of us took the field as part of the Ballard FC family.

The Beautiful Game. On the two year anniversary of our 2023 National Title, we reflect on Saturday’s season finale. The two matches had many parallels. Both ended 2–1, and both were decided by stoppage-time winners that sent the respective home crowds into frenzies.

A letter from the club ❤️ Congratulations to @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social on their first National Title and thank you for hosting us this weekend! #BallardFC | #UpTheBridges

The best in the land 👏 You continue to push us forward, inspire us, and show the whole country what hyperlocal soccer is all about. Before we know it, we’ll be back with all of you again ❤️🫶 #BallardFC | #UpTheBridges
