MATCH FOR C.H.A.N.G.E.

Highlighting the many initiatives on Saturday night, all Revolution jerseys will feature a patch designed by local artist Eamon White, using the Adinkra Symbol from Ghana as inspiration. After the match, all player-worn jerseys will be autographed and available via online auction, with proceeds going to benefit Women of Color Entrepreneurs (WOCE). The patch design will also be placed on the corner flags, one of which will be signed and available as part of the auction.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS UNIFIED MATCH

Fans are encouraged to stay after the first-team match on Saturday night for the second half of a doubleheader, as the New England Revolution Unified Team will host the FC Dallas Unified Team, with kickoff scheduled for approximately 10 p.m. ET. For the first time at Gillette Stadium, this weekend's Unified Match will feature a full-field, 11-v-11 format.

Unified Sports join people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team, inspired by the concept of inclusion and the idea that training and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. The Revolution's Unified Team, in partnership with Special Olympics Massachusetts, features both Special Olympics athletes and partner athletes.

Last month, the Revolution and Arbella Insurance raised $100,000 for Special Olympics Massachusetts at the club's annual Bowl for a Goal event at Splitsville Luxury Lanes, bringing the fundraising total through that event to $600,000 since 2015.

RECENT FORM VS. FC DALLAS

It's been more than two years since the last meeting between the Revs and FC Dallas in March 2022, a 1-0 home win for New England on the back of a Carles Gil penalty kick. That victory snapped the Revolution's nine-game winless run in the regular season series (0-8-1), and also ended a stretch of three straight home losses to FCD between 2013 and 2018.

Ravaged by injuries, the Revs (7-14-1, 22 pts.) traveled to Philadelphia midweek and got a stunning first goal of the season from Ian Harkes, but it was mere consolation in a 5-1 loss to the Union at Subaru Park. New England have now lost four of their last five, but still just five points back of the playoff places in the East and with multiple games in hand on every team in the conference except Columbus, they could pull themselves right back into the mix with three points on Saturday night in Foxborough.

Dallas (8-11-5, 29 pts.), meanwhile, have climbed to within one point of the playoff line in the West by going 5-3-0 in their last eight games, including a 3-1 win over in-state rivals Austin FC on Wednesday night. It should be noted, however, that all five of those wins - and all eight of FCD's victories this season - have come within the friendly confines of Toyota Stadium, and they'll come to Foxborough this weekend as one of only two teams leaguewide yet to win on the road (0-8-3).

Saturday night's showdown with FC Dallas will be the Revolution's final regular season match before taking a month-long break from the MLS schedule to participate in Leagues Cup. They'll host Liga MX side Mazatlán (July 27) and Nashville SC (August 6) in the group stage of that competition, and they'll return to MLS play on August 24 in Montréal.

Overall Record vs. FC Dallas: 25-20-4

SHOW YOUR COLORS

Saturday night the Revs will wear their "Defiance" kit, which will serve as the team's community uniform once again for the 2024 MLS season.

The "Defiance" kit features a white jersey and red shorts, with red socks and red trim along the shoulder and sleeves. The shirt's design is punctuated by a bold red "strikethrough" across the chest that embodies New England's famous spirit of positive defiance. Revolution is the ultimate act of defiance, and the club's new kit honors that resilient spirit that sparked the American Revolution, laid the foundation for our country, and has resonated throughout the New England region for centuries.
