April 26, 2014 – The Very First One
What a historic and unforgettable day for our club, fans, and city. A sellout crowd of 20,231 at Hughes Stadium nearly doubled the previous USL regular season game attendance record of 10,697, just to see their boys in Old Glory Red take the field for the first time. The visitors grabbed an early lead, but an Adam Jahn 32nd minute equalizer leveled the score just before the break.

Republic FC lost the battle (that being the match, 2-1), but Sacramento won the war at the end of the season when the Indomitable Club hoisted the 2014 USL Pro Championship Cup following a triumphant postseason run, ultimately avenging the early season loss to the club from the Pennsylvania capital.
