Post and Pre Match, May 19 update

With a wild ending to Saturday's derby and a midweek match tomorrow, here are some links to bridge the gap:

Fort Wayne Footy had a great YouTube interview Monday night with 91st minute goal scorer Jack Thomas, and Just Hein of the Fort Wayne Defender provided an in depth recap of the match.

Fort Wayne Defender also has a preview of Wednesday's match vs Corpus Christi FC.

Can Fort Wayne FC finish off their inaugural home stand with a win?

Prepping for the Derby

The Derby is one day away! Here are a couple of ways you can prep...

Check out The Opposition Report: Indy Eleven by Just Hein of the Fort Wayne Defender. He writes some great pre- and post-game articles.

Also, check out tonight's live episode of Fort Wayne Footy at 9pm on YouTube as they collaborate with 1Touch Soccer, KitSZN (of The USL Show), and Cue the Smoke (Indy Eleven's podcast). Should be a fun interaction!

How are YOU prepping for the Derby?

Which Derby name do you prefer?

The upcoming derby of Fort Wayne FC vs Indy Eleven has been given two names so far. The clubs have dubbed it the Victory and Liberty Derby (presented by the Hoosier Lottery) https://www.fortwaynefc.com/news/2026/04/27/introducing-victory-liberty-derby/, which sort of make sense if you read the explanation, but does not really pass the smell test and should not require in depth reasoning. The respective supporter groups (Three Rivers Regiment and Brickyard Battalion) have collectively dubbed it the Hoosier Hostility. https://www.facebook.com/ThreeRiversRegiment/posts/from-the-old-ihl-days-of-the-fort-wayne-komets-vs-the-indianapolis-ice-and-later/1565348955594180/
