ROUND OF 32 DRAW 🏆

Phoenix Rising will host Major League Soccer side Houston Dynamo in the Open Cup, just the second time the club has ever hosted MLS opposition in a competitive matchup.

If Rising wins, they are also guaranteed to host the Round of 16 clash against either Austin or El Paso.

The morning after…

Another game, more points dropped. As Rising’s injury crisis gets worse, two red cards saw the team fall 3-1 on the road to Monterey Bay.

Not everyone's path to Phoenix Rising is straightforward.

Alex Araneda's certainly wasn't.

After suffering a leg break in the 2024 preseason, he's now reunited with his former coach and looking to rebound.

It’s important not to lose sight of the fact Rising conceded four goals in that match. But there were definite signs in the second half of what this team could be capable of, if all goes to plan.

Wasn't initially expecting this, but it'll be interesting to see if he's expecting to feature this season with Rocco's departure confirmed.

Some of these moves I saw coming, others not so much. Goalkeeper is a major role to fill, especially dependent on if a deal to return Rocco Rios Novo is potentially in the cards. There has been interest in Boye but no idea if that'll materialize into any actual move.
Phoenix Rising releases its initial roster moves for 2025, with John Stenberg, Fede Varela and Renzo Zambrano among the notable departures.
