CLEVELAND CRUNCH RETURN TO WOLSTEIN CENTER FOR SEMIFINAL SHOWDOWN WITH PAO CHICAGO

The Cleveland Crunch return to the iconic Wolstein Center this Friday, April 11 at 7 PM, for a thrilling Major League Indoor Soccer (MLIS) Semi-Final clash against PAO Chicago—marking their first appearance at the legendary arena in over two decades.

Before the Crunch take the field, fans can catch the MLIS action starting at 5 PM as the Toronto Crusaders battle the Amarillo Bombers in the first semi-final match. One ticket gets you into both matches, making this a can’t-miss night of non-stop, high-energy indoor soccer.

The Wolstein Center isn’t just another venue—it’s sacred ground for Crunch faithful. The team captured three championships in the 1990’s under its roof, igniting a golden era of dominance that etched the franchise into Cleveland sports lore. Now, with five titles under their belt, the Crunch return home with their sights set on championship number six—and a chance to become back-to-back champs for the first time in franchise history.

“The Wolstein Center holds a special place in our hearts,” said Crunch President Luciano V. “We’re bringing that championship mindset back to where it all began—with the city of Cleveland behind us and a new generation of fans who are ready to witness history.”

This marks only the second-ever match up between Cleveland and PAO Chicago, with the Crunch securing a gritty 8–5 road win in their first meeting back on March 30. With limited history and few opportunities to scout one another, Friday’s showdown is shaping up to be an unpredictable, high-stakes battle as both teams fight for a coveted spot in the MLIS Championship Final.

The clock is ticking, the stage is set, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Join us as the Cleveland Crunch begin their next championship run—right where it all began.
