Now that FC Cincinnati's TQL Stadium is operating at full capacity for home matches, the club on Thursday rolled out its schedule of promotional giveaways and events for the rest of the 2021 season.
With 14 home matches remaining in 2021 for FCC, at least 11 games are scheduled to feature promotional events and giveaways, team officials announced Thursday.
The giveaways start July 9 for the much-anticipated "Hell is Real" Derby match against Columbus Crew at TQL Stadium. Rally towels will be distributed to ticket holders upon entering the stadium gates for the match between the rival Ohio clubs.
The "color-out" matches are also returning with "orange-out," "blue-out," and "white-out" nights scheduled.
A Pride celebration is also scheduled for the Oct. 9 match against Philadelphia Union.
Future giveaways will be announced closer to match day, FCC officials stated in a news release.

FC Cincinnati hosted reduced-capacity crowds for the first two matches at TQL Stadium in accordance with local government and MLS pandemic protocols.
By the time the June 19 home date with Colorado Rapids approached, pandemic protocols had been lifted in Ohio by Gov. Mike DeWine, allowing FCC to host its first-ever TQL Stadium sellout as 25,054 attended the match.
“Fans look forward to FCC promotions each season and we are excited to announce our schedule for the season including a return of Orange Out, Blue Out and White Out matches,” Meg Ryan, FC Cincinnati's chief marketing officer, said in a statement. “We want to leverage our promotional opportunity to honor many in our community who sacrifice for us and also to show our support for important causes.”
